Hospital Visit Puts A Halt To Training.
Simon check in – ok well this has put a stop to the training. On Saturday morning I was not feeling very well and ended up going to hospital in an ambulance for what is now believed to be an appendix problem. Rather than being out getting a little bit of training in this weekend, …
