Off to work the long way round

No S&C when I got home but my kitchen floor and lounge carpet are sparking 🤗

I’m really enjoying the extra long cycle to work in the morning. Sneaking in an extra 30-35mins each time

107 days to go - swam after work

So pleased
I just got on with it 
Had my H2O headphones on listening to some trance music. It helped. Swimming is not yet a moving meditation.

But I did it 🥳🤗

Rest day

Lovely chilled day
No Nessie due to an incident between Waterloo & Clapham. 

Sadly this then messed up my journey home 😕
Two hours longer than planned 
Bit tired.

But I’m home 🥰

109 days to go - did the long run

I’m feeling very chuffed
I got the train to Boxhill and Westhumble and ran through Norbury park to Leatherhead train station then train back to mums

Approx 9km in 1:25
Was quite hilly at the start #SurreyHills 🤣

I need to do this more often so I make sure I don’t bail on the long run x

111 days, 15 weeks - 1st proper long ride

I feel as if Lizzie goes long has properly started.

75k / 3:15 in the new Forest with Suzanne then 2k/15mins brick run straight after 

Both felt good
Although I was thinking at 40k yee gods how am I going to keep going for another 140k at the end of July.
And after the 2k brick run off the bike there was a part of me that thought crikey, only another 40k of running to go and then I’ll be done 🤣

However…
I’ve still got 111 days until I’m racing.
That’s loads of time - 15 weeks
I’ll be fine!!!!

No run this evening

I was hungry when I finished work so made supper instead of running as soon as I got home from work.

Long cycle with Suzanne tomorrow morning with the long run in the diary for Wednesday. 
Just got to make sure I do them.

Bedtime 
End of my latest 4 days at work. 
Start of my next 4 day mini break.
