12,500+ steps without thinking

May not have done any actual training today but still manage to smash out over 12,500 steps

I need to make some small changes / set down some habits that'll take me through to July.

I need to pop up to Highfield tomorrow with a couple of birthday cards for work colleagues to sign - will therefore cycle to wide lane so I can get to UoS easily tomorrow evening.

This could be the small habit that'll help me as I go long…

Well? 

How's #LizzieGoesLong? i hear you ask

I'm managing the swimming really well - swimming 2 usually 3 tines a week with tri club and i can feel myself getting quicker as i get better with my swim technique.

I am running - trying to go to the track each Thursday and then do another 1-2 runs a week. Not brilliant but certainly a start

It's the cycing that i'm not doing

I get the train to work in Winchester and havn't actually been around in Southampton over the weekend enough to go for a bike ride of more than an hour. This needs to get better. Need to cycle 3-4 times a week and bike for ar least 1-3 hours. This is a work in progress

Weight? Still 76kg

So plenty to work on with 10months to go till the Outlaw full ironman

I will try and post something every day to ensue i keep my focus

The plan is - keep doing something every day

Run/Cycle/walk and maybe swim while in the States, up my focus in November and then after my birthday 25th Jan start a proper training plan to take me to the end of July 2023

Basically though i need to get 10% quicker swimming, cycling and running

I want to be able to do 1km of swimming in 20mins

I'd like my casual cycling to be 22km p/hr

I'd like my talking while runnung to be 6.30mins per km
