Day37

It's starting to feel like I'm under house arrest. I'm not of course but me, myself and I have been kicking around my flat on my own now for 8+37 days. 

Today has mostly been recovering from yesterday's epic training session.

Catch up with Lindsey around my nutrition stuff - got 4 more weeks with her and it's going brilliantly. 20cm less of me 🤗

20mins of Aero Conditioning 

60mins of HURTBOX

Then a 20min chat with Katie on Dr.Who and Torchwood.

Supper, started to rewatch STPicard and now it's 22:10 and it's time for bed.

Five more days of work then I'm off for 11 days. Me and the gang should have been jetting off to Mallorca next Thursday - holiday and supporting Donna, JennyA and Suzanne at Mallorca 70.3

Instead I'll be in my flat reading, training, cleaning, pottering, sorting, watching TV. 

Yay 😕

Day36

What a day!!

Def feeling loads more positive. I think the 9-5:15pm shift this week is helping.

So today I mostly worked out.

Slept really well - was in bed by 10:45pm last night, also I have a tendency to eat and eat and eat late at night so figured get to bed before you start getting peckish 😂

Chair Pilates with Maxine 

Low impact HIIT with Jo

40min run 5.8km

35 hard minutes on the stationary bike 

Pretty much two solid hours of working out from 5-7pm. Felt EPIC.

Then a big healthy plate of jacket potatoes, humous and salad followed by a slice of yesterday's banana bread 🤗

Zoom quiz with chums and now just chilling in front of the TV. Also today I 'saw' Vik - she was in her car talking up to me while I was on my balcony talking down to her. 

Seeing a friend in 3D = Priceless ❤️

Day35

I think it's good that it's my 9-5:15pm week as I need some stability as def a bit wobbly. Nothing major, just missing friends, family, colleagues. 

I can see  this week being a week of getting stuff done!!

Posted a letter to Nathan - wanted to catch the 9am post so I have been out today and had a walk round the block after letter posted.

'Wide Lane' week - basically 9-5:15pm

12pm stretch with Jo

1pm CS team meeting 

Made banana bread

5pm Latin Fusion. OMG Michela is so blinking quick and I'm so blinking hilariously awful. I spend the 30minutes of the class that I do just laughing at myself.

5:30pm HB in my bedroom on my stationary bike

8pm Quiz with old mates from Ashtead / St.Georges. 

And now, let's see if I can get to bed before 10:30pm!!

Will the Southampton half and Ride London happen? Probably not but I'm going to train as if they will be happening. I reckon if they don't happen I'll just do them virtually / outside but not with crowds...

Oh good lord - we've now moved into month two - yay 🙁

Today I ran a mile in 10.21
