"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt

Splitting in two...

... Not literally, but actually, yes, nearly literally.

I saw the picture below a while ago:


I thought "I'll have to do that at some point" but, as with anything, it's difficult to split the time so you can focus on doing it twice a day. (See what i did there? -Ok i'll get my coat!)

I've decided I'll try and do this. In two weeks I'll obviously be super flexible and have the ability to do the splits at the drop of a hat.

I've just done the first set. Guaranteed I'll be walking like I've got a bottle shoved... Yeah you get the picture don't you?!

Feel free to join in and let me know how you get on :)

P.S. Foot still not better, but getting there I think. Seeing GP on Tuesday; going to ask to be referred to a Physio.

      Yes, go for it! It's all about the pigeon stretch; I'm not sure what will cease first though - my hip feeling like it's going to pop out the socket, or my fading feeling of masculinity for doing this !

    It has been a very long time hasn't it?! Sadly I am still injured and have had very little motivation to blog about it... I've not even wanted to read other people's blogs as it just reminds me of what I'm missing.

    ...and I can't do the splits either!
