StayingAlertDay19

Another fabulous weekend!

Saturday was mainly spent sorting out three draws of stuff in my chest of draws in the living room. I now feel awesome.

Sunday was mainly spent cycling 55km with Jenny then running 9k with Vik. 

I'm now quite tired!!!

StayingAlertDays 11&12

Lovely weekend 🤗

Saturday I woke up before 8am, couldn't get back to sleep so got up and went for a run. Just 3.6k, 28mins but felt great.

Today I cycled to Lepe beach with Jenny Penney from Tri Club. About 60k, was four hours door to door but did have a little snack break at Lepe

Such a great weekend...

Made banana bread, video chatted with lots of chums, had a roast chicken Sunday dinner, watched the 'show must go on' Sound of Music, reread the Hunger Games.

Also, looks like I maybe furlough for another three weeks. It's like I'm having work experience in being retired 😂

StayingAlertDay8

Great day

Pilates

Banana cake muffins

Lots of reading about type2 diabetes

A socially distancing run on the common with Shazza. 60mins. About 6.5/7k

I'm now feeling physically tired. Love it!!

BeingAlert Day6

Today mostly consisted of making American Pancakes, seeing colleagues during the CS 'teams' team meeting, catching up with Caryl and Alison on the common, joining the HB session slightly late, cooking a bacon/pasta dish and chilling in front of the TV

Another lovely day 🤗

BeingAlert day5

Hoorah for a 60k bike ride in the New Forest with Jenny Penney from STC 🤗

Then, absolute bonus - got to see H in 3D before cycling home. 

Zoom catch up with the family

Kiah's Zoom Graduation

Another top day

BeAlert day3

Last day of my holiday - let's make it count!

HB session at 9:30am

Then off cycling at 12:15pm - SD catch up with Karen then cycled through the UoS campus, so lovely to see it.

SD catch up with Charlotte, no Caroline as at work.

Then SD catch up with Sarah 

Then cycled to Woolston via Athelston Road  - cycled the whole way up!

SD catch up with Vik and Jack then home

About three hours so although needed to pee wasn't as desperate as Wednesday!

TV, roast chicken and made muffins.

Cats on YouTube

Catch up video chat with Debs and Ingie

Great last day of A/L 🤗👍

BeAlert day2

Ran 5.2km 42mins

Stationary bike for 30mins

A socially distancing cuppa and walk with Charlotte

Catch up with the KAC gang in the evening.

I'm pretty much 97% sure Ride London will not be going ahead but I'm going to train as if it is. 

Basically I need to be able to cycle 70miles on a Friday then cycle back 70miles on a Sunday so I can get to Ashtead to see Debs, Markie, Mum, the girls and chums ❤️

I don't think public transport will be a good idea until next year but when we're allowed to move about more freely I will want to go see friends and family who live further away than 10-15miles. 

Hurtbox tomorrow but I will also go for a longer bike ride. The other thing as discussed yesterday is the whole no public toilets / unable to use anyone else's loo so currently my absolute limit is 4hours without a comfort break!!!

 

Day51 = Day1 of Being Alert 🤗

What a day!

Day1 of Being Alert means we're able to exercise as much as possible and socially distance meet with friends / family.

Wonderful.

So, for the first time in over 50 days I got on my bike and went for a cycle.

Cup of tea for Jenny's bday

A picnic lunch for Amy's bday

A front garden leaning on the wall catch up with Sue

A cuppa with Katherine

A chat by the common with Alison 

Then a very fast cycle home as it was nearly four hours since my last trip to the loo 😂

Ate the last of the 71 chocolate biscuits - pretty good going for six days. It's definitely time to give up sugar just like 14 years ago I decided it was time to give up cigarettes. 

Welcome to two weeks of hell 🤔

Day40

Started strong!!

Made a huge bowl of fruit salad then went for a 7k run in 55minutes. Only stopped if cars were coming when crossing the road. Very comfortable, if I'd of been running with Pam and/or Shaz I'd of been able to talk non stop. So happy. 

The rest of the day was video chatting, snacking and TV; so not so active 😂

Day39

Epic HURTBOX session then excel spreadsheets, socially distancing walk with Charlotte, Dr.Who chats with Katie, and messenger catch up with Sarah & Sue.

And just like that Mayday 2020 is over.
