Benchpress

I felt shockingly hungover, so a 9,30am flu jab wasn't a welcome start to to the day. I spent the rest of my day off wandering round shops with Mum and feeling hungry and queasy at the same time. I was ready for an early night, but Ellie and I had a date with a local gym who train Paralympic athletes. We got to meet our first 2012 athlete, and it was great to watch Zoe Newsom bench-press over three times her body weight. Ellie and I managed to lift far less respectable weights. I'm blaming my hangover.
