Hey Stud Muffins.

HURRAH! That is week 2 complete. So, how did I do?

I DID IT!!

It all started on Monday, when I went to the gym after work. Unfortunately, I had left it right until the last possible moment in the day to go, so I only cycled 12 miles before being ushered out by the strange Eastern European looking cleaner. It was tough (as I set the resistance to 10) and I felt like I was literally about to die when I got off the bike. I knew instantly I was in for a hard week.

Tuesday, I started by making up for the lost mile the previous day and then spent around 50 minutes cycling the days quota of 13 miles. (I did adjust the resistance to correspond to the massive hill I would've had to cycle up in the last 0.5 miles of an actual journey to work). Tuesday was easier.

I had a day off on Wednesday.

On Thursday I did my first cycle where I did the correct number of miles that I had meant to -13. It took me around 49 minutes. Much easier. But my Mum came with me and totally cramped my style.

Working and an actual social life has prevented me from cycling on Friday and Saturday, and today (SUNDAY) I definitely suffered the consequences.

Sunday, I made two trips to the gym. The first was with my best friend. It was encouraging to me to know that resistance 10 is difficult and that more than 3 miles is an actual challenge. I guess that's what friends are for. :D

After a Domino's pizza and a couple of hours rest, I returned to the gym, alone, only to find the cashier counting her money. F**K! When she eventually looked up at me, she told me "Just to go in". WIN! So my final 13 miles of 65 were free, courtesy of the lovely gym lady, which is what she will be referred as to from this point onwards.

And on this final day, I cycled an extra 0.3 miles just to prove to myself that I could do a marathon cycle in a day, and it only took me 47 minutes!

SO only 5 hours later and 65.3 miles later, I'm done. Week 2 of Challenge Doug is complete! :D

SO, whats next for Doug?

Week 3: Take 3 pictures of yourself every day to see how change over the day, and over the week.

Now although this one isn't a physical challenge, or a mental one, it certainly is a creative one, and a very interesting one.

So, for the next week, I'll be taking a picture when I wake up, in the afternoon and then one in evening, every day. Next Sunday night, I'll post the pictures on here as a slideshow. :D

Keep your suggestions coming for the next week, on here and as usual on Twitter: @dougmcmuffin
