22 days to go

Banstead parkrun with Ingie - it was so easy, just chatted the entire way round 

Sadly Ingie tripped over a sleeping policeman no one saw just before we got back to the car. 

In the afternoon - Leatherhead leisure centre for a swim 2050m in 49.20

23 days to go

Resting yesterday was perfect 

I was nervous about staying at mums if still feeling rough. I feel loads better. 

6-7am STC swim session at Oaklands community pool.

Jenny and I cycled out to Beaulieu, Bucklers Hard. Got a bit lost. Approx 50km

Met Sue at Eling & waved goodbye to Jenny then off into the Hampshire countryside via Totton finishing at Headlands cafe over in Weat Wellow near Canada Common. Another approx 50km

Total cycle 5ours 

My km/hr needs to be faster but I should be okay in closed roads, no stopping and at my pace. 

Blood test RHS

Drove to mums 

Bedtime 

I felt great today. Very strong. I know I will finish in time // within the cutoffs. I wonder though if I can get a result that starts with a 15 🤔

Off work

My cold / sore throat defeated me 

I knew it was going to be ridiculous at work and I was already struggling 

Alarm went off

I couldn’t do it

Phoned in sick then back to sleep till 1pm

Shower at 6:30pm

Gazebo collected at 8:15pm

Lidls and some pasta 

Bed before 11pm 

I did nothing today except sleep and suck strepsils 

Still not 100% - 25 days to go

Been sucking strepsils all day

Stupid busy at work but that’s mainly because there are so few of us due to illness, holiday and still shift working. It’ll be heaving next week!

So I havnt trained today

Juat cycled to and from work and a bit of walking - barely any steps 5139

I want to protect my weekend of long cycle and long run

Ignoring a cold

My voice these last few days!!

Very deep

Like the day after smoking 40 fags

Throat sore - have got through so many strepsils.

Good to have this now as 26 days to go!!! 

But did manage a 13.4km 54mins before work HB session on the roads so very pleased with that xx

Rest day

In 4 weeks it’ll be over. 

This adventure has currently taken over (on & off) approx 4 years of my life. It’s been wonderful. Just need to finish it now 🥰🎉

Exactly 4 weeks today

Loved the Exbury 10k

Soles of my feet are tender. Hopefully I’ll manage 42km!!

Felt very relaxed & easy. Didn’t push it at all, chatted the whole way. 

Two weeks of concerted effort then taper 

As long as I make the bike cut off I’ll be fine on the run as long as I take it very gently.
