New Gym

After a bit of a strange week, we finally finished the gym. Still no electricity or serious kit (apart from the rowing machine), but a start. Skipped running on Tuesday because of terrential rain and gale force winds. On Wednesday the car died on the way to training. Putting down floors and lifting kit has to count as cross-training...
