86 days to go - 1600m swim at L’head Leisure Centre

Felt more positive about today’s training 
Up and out of the house by 8am to swim at the leisure centre 
1600m done
Nice and smooth
2:20 per 100m average = approx 1:40 for 3.8k 
Currently I’m thinking 1:45 for the swim so any quicker will be a bonus 

Cycled back to mums for breakfast 🤗
Coffee and shopping in the village
Big lunch 
Chilled afternoon 

6:13pm train to Soton, home by 8:30pm

Douche for the last 11 weeks has to be the long bike rides, runs and swimming plus I must figure out my fuelling.

Fun!!!!!

Very excited for Sunday’s half marathon
Tomorrow is parkrun then Matt&Tom’s 50th bday celebrations part one up in London. I won’t be doing anymore as I need to get back so I’m not knackered for the half x

90 day / 12 weeks to go

I’ve got to trust in the process 
I have to do the long rides 
I am loving the 50-60min bike rides pre work. 

Work changes 7th July 
It’ll be interesting to see how my life changes going back to Mon-Fri

Rest day

So tired 
Mainly due to the three day NFL draft 

Loved athlete tracking the London marathon today.
Can’t wait for the Southampton half next Sunday -  my goal is to finish feeling fresh 🤗

I need to be kind to myself so I may just go to London for Matt & Tom’s 50th from Ashtead on Saturday and then back to Soton that evening from Waterloo. I’ll need to check luggage / logistics regarding training but that might be kinder on my body / sleep 🤔
