Great session.

Then Jenny, Suzanne and I had tea at John Lewis. Great start to the weekend.

The bike ride to Romsey though with Ellie, Lou, Howard and Dave wasn't so succesful!! Hilarious - absolutly pissed it down. We basically cycled about three miles to a pub in Lordshill to drink tea and eat chips then cycled home. See pic below x

Scary jumpy film Get Out with Vik, Pam and Karen then Vik and I drank some alcohol in the London to calm our nerves. Taper = so far so good.

Sunday i checked out the new Lidls in Woolston with Vik. Then cooked roast chicken and ate roast chicken. That was pretty much all i did Sunday. Quite tired.

Monday was brilliant fun. No Josh so Lizzie Run Leader Carter armed with a free whistle that she got at one of the many lgbt prides she's  been to over the years took group A onto the common to do intervals.

20/30/40/30/20 seconds of hard running with a good 120 - 140 seconds recovery between each run then three mins recovery before doing it all again.

Then 60seconds of hard running, three mins rest then another 60seconds of hard running. Cool down jog and stretches. Loved it.

Swimming was tough! 

6x 200m of various swim sets then drills.

And now it's today Tuesday 4th April. I didnt get home from work till 6:15pm so decided not to go to strength and conditioning at tauntons college. But i did go to Hurtbox which was tough! I had to get fast James to lower my ftp to 140 :) 

I'll do a 30-40mins run tomorrow eve then it's all nice and gentle until wahoooooooo - twenty six miles here we come!!!!
