2km sea swim on Sunday 8th Sept 2013

Gosh.
What can I say? I've swum 2km. 2000m. Equivalent of 80lengths of a regular pool. Non stop!!!!!

Very choppy, very wet - as in waves crashing over me left right and centre. Awful. And sea water is so flipping salty when you end up swallowing gallons of the stuff.

I was the last person out - I think under the 75minute time limit which is amazing as the conditions were the worst ever in 25years.

So chuffed and amazed at myself and what I'm achieving each week. I'm a true believer that pretty much anyone can run a successful operation fit and healthy campaign. Afterall if I can do it I reckon anyone can :)

How's the week been?

My last update was a week ago on Sunday 25th August - so how has this week been?

Well - Sunday I went through to Brighton to see Bernie - took my running gear but didnt actually use it.

Tuesday - my new washing machine was delivered!

Wednesday Pam was stuck in traffic so I went for a run - approx 7k around ocean village and over itchen bridge - about 45mins or so.

Thursday - met Pam at boxing. OMG - loved it. 30mins of boxing - went in the ring with Frank and did glove work. Then 30mins of strength work. I was able to keep up and did very well. Was of course purple by the end and dripping in sweat. Shower then fat club - minus 4lbs.

Friday up to London to meet Matt and Luc - Rupert pub in Soho then sketch for amazing meal then village in Soho for a quick dance. Just caught the last train home!!!

Saturday 31st August - really quite tired. Got ready for Weymouth tri but in the end Katherine realised way too knackered after Dundee. Quite pleased.

And now it's Sunday 1st September 2013.

25mins in the stationary bike - beads of sweat - check out pic.
Then lovely walk with Vik 6.4miles 2hours 12mins.

Great week - prob just as well didnt do the Weymouth tri...
