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.

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.

114 days to go - feeling strong

Fabulous!
Did some stretches in the morning - hub was empty
Then swam at lunchtime - just 550m but good to be in the water. Didn't swim at Oaklands this morning so very pleased to get into the pool even if only for 15mins
Then cycled the long way home. 

Have signed up for the Gridiron in October and a 200k bike ride through the forest in August. Oh and joined the National Trust & English Heritage. 
It was a slow day at work 🤣

I'm def feeling strong xx
