Site for Sore Thighs!!



DD Oscar this week goes to.......
good friend Evo of Evoland, who is a regular commenter and encourager on this site. He is doing really well in his fitness campagne. He's is nearly got to losing 1 and1/2 stone and he has taken up jogging....which is all going towards his image of being the 'Milk tray Man'. www.evo1.blogspot.com . Well done Evo!!!


This is a really good site. Has loads of information about fitness, diet and exercise. Don't be put off by the word 'Marathon'!!!! There are quizes, recipes and training ideas, also a Blog site if you really want to get into conversation with the pros

http://www.realbuzz.com/

This is a recipe from that site. It is gorgeous
Kidney bean and raisin salad




This salad is delicious; the sweet raisins really complement the beans well. Raisins are a good source of iron and if you drink a glass of pure fruit juice with this (such as orange, cranberry or grapefruit) the vitamin C will help your body absorb the iron more efficiently.

Hey, there was a time when the word marathon was a real encouragemet in itself. "Snickers" just doesn't have the same appeal :)
