The Man Is Back!

How was your weekend?

If you are anything like me, you were loving the 31 degree Springday on Saturday - summer is on it's way baby!

My weekend was a sporting feast in front of the box:

- Paralympic highlights on Saturday arvo
- Club Rugby Semi on Saturday arvo
- The Bledisloe although it was disappointing to see us go down to the All Blacks again and give up a 10 point second half lead...
- NRL finals- Swans getting touched up (once again, it wasn't all good footy watching)

I also managed to get in some good Aussie Fatblast inspired workout sessions too.

I was feeling flat yesterday morning but still got in and did a boxing session with my girlfriend - it's the only time that she gets to belt me up and trust me, she packs a punch!

I felt awesome after finishing it though and a lot better for sticking it out when I didn't really feel like it at the start.

That's a great lesson there.

Do the workout even if you are feeling a little flat and you will pick up and be the better for it!

But the best news I heard in the last week was the news that the man is back.

Yes, that's right ladies and gentlemen, 7 time Tour de France legend Lance Armstrong is getting back on the bike.

To tell you the truth, at first I was a bit surprised to hear that he is making a comeback considering he has nothing left to prove.

I didn't think it was a smart idea to try and get back and mix it with the best after 3 years out of the saddle.

But that was until I heard his reason for making a comeback.

He wants to continue to raise awareness and some extra benjamins for cancer research.

He did some awesome stuff with those yellow Livestrong bracelets a few years ago, so he can obviously raise awareness and continue to raise some good coin.

So, you can't knock the bloke.

I am not going to write him off.

Especially when I went back and dug this quote out that was in his first book "It's Not About The Bike":

"If there is one thing I don't want to hear, it's that I can't do something. Telling me that is the best way to make sure that I'll do it" - Lance Armstrong

It'll be a tough choice deciding who to cheer him or Cadel next year!

Don't let fear hold you back!
