Update 25/8/13

Gosh - one blinks and your big sis is all "of&h update?"

Today - lie in but then 10mins on the stationary bike - could make that a regular thing in my pjs and it'd be good to use it as more than just a clothes horse!

Yesterday 24/8
Run with Muts - approx 7km in 51:29.99

Friday 23/8
Wild camping in a field in Wiltshire - at least one bottle of red consumed.

Thursday 22/8
Plus 4lbs at fat club - eeeek

Wednesday 21/8
The last RR10 c/o Winchester running club at IBM centre Hursley - 4.4miles so about 6.5k? in 43:45.73 - was very pleased with myself as didnt stop once and managed a sprint finish.

Tuesday 20/8
Last run camp - sad face. 2km TT in 11:25.25 which was 14seconds faster than my time trial at the start of the 12week course so absolutly delighted - not so delighted though with the last of coach Ant's 3x3 strength sets. I won't miss those at all - although my running and stamina will!

Monday 19/8
Cycled from Wootton IOW to catch ferry back to mainland - 8.9km in 30mins - there were alot of hills!!

Cycled to Wootton for an overnight with debs, mark and the girls.

Saturday 17/8
Cycled to Eastleigh lakeside for 7.15am and swam 3 laps of 300m in about 29mins - each lap slightly quicker than the last from 10:30ish to 9:47ish to 9:17ish. Then cycled to portswood, bassett, home then pub that eve in st.denys for viks bday drinks.

Friday 16\8
Home from IOW - cycled the long way as did some sightseeing. Fabulous week in the island with the family. Took tri suit, running gear, prescription goggles and bike - brilliant - got a couple of runs in, plants of swims amd splashing about in the sea plus some cycle rides.

Wednesday 7th August 2013

Was LRR's RR10 race this evening so went along to help marshall and cheer/clap the runners. Had a blast. Lots of clapping and cheering - especially the slower runners as I know just how fab it is when you're tired and you get cheered!

Unfortunately I did have a slight accident when sourcing a spot to pee. Managed to walk into barbed wire - broke specs and got a cut right near my left eye. Luckily I had my sun glasses so had my shades on all eve.

Lovely to see my LRR chums and I thourally enjoyed the cakes that were consumed at the end of the race. Great fun. Fab evening.
