The Intention

Misguided as it may be, a suggestion was made to start something new for Lent rather than to give something up.  Some of the normal vices will again be shorn until Easter.  I've tried starting blogs in the past but never felt I had anything worthwhile to contribute to the blogosphere.

This attempt is tied to an intent to get at least 30 minutes exercise on 6 days every week.  I have moved to a different county but still play with my home club.  Injuries and bad habits have resulted in significant weight gain at the end of last year.  Another aim is to eventually get my BMI, which currently stands at 27, to 24 and eventually to 22.

One of the frustrations of being a club player in the GAA is the uncertainty of the year.  Master schedules are made in February and March around the country only to be binned by May.  I have cancelled holidays in the past because of a game being rescheduled.  One year, it was because 1 player in the opposition was injured training with the county panel which resulted in the game being postponed on 3 consecutive weekends.  I hope the schedule is adhered to this year.

That's the intention.  Ash Wednesday is tomorrow.  Training tomorrow night.  Indoors thankfully.
