128 days to go - just work and driving

Hmmmm

I'm going to have to stop socialising / figure out how I can make sure I'm training enough.

Day 4/4
Did a lot of tidying / sorting this morning so didn't manage S&C either at home or at the gym.

Then drove to Ashtead via a Deb's pick up in Epsom so didn't manage anything after work. 

The sunset though was amazing when I went to get mums car from Winn road 🥰


Running up and down Winn Road 19/3/26

So much fun. 
Forgot my head torch though which was an error. 


129 days to go - forgot to post

When you decide you're going to post an update everyday and then forget  :( 

Yesterday was okay
- S&C in the gym before work
- Run after work

I took my sports bra to work, left my Hub top in my draw and then ran to mum's car, ran up and down Winn Road before driving back to my flat.

This worked so well.
I will def do this again.

130 days to go - bike ride after work

Slept well last night.
It helped that I was in bed by 10pm.
Decided to go to the gym before work and then go out for a bike ride as soon as I got in from work around 8:20pm

That worked so well!
I listened to NFL podcasts while I cycled around the city centre.


Plus check out the fast twitch race pack 🤣
I didn't notice it was me until jenny emailed to let me know. 
Hilarious.

I also cannot wait to do the race next month. I'm so excited to see how I do.

131 days to go - rest day - DOMS

So tired!!
My shoulders have been killing me all day 
Took me till this evening to realise they're DOMS from Sunday's gym class 🤣 I did very forceful throwing down of the medicine ball. It was wonderful but crikey I gave it some welly xx

At CLS I did dry land swim session and one of the dry land swim exercises was slamming down the medicine ball from over head to get that strong feeling of the pull. Or maybe the catch 🤔 
Anyways, was very satisfying and I did feel as if I was powering through the water 🥳

132 days to go - bike ride / cuppa / flat tire

Everything was going great.
I was loving my cycling around Ashtead and into Leatherhead exploring roads I hadn't biked along for years / if ever.
Messaged Phil for a cuppa if she was in. 
She was, we had a lovely cuppa catch up.
Then I headed back to mums.

You know when you start loosing control of the bike and you just know it's because the tire is probably flat but you really don't want to stop because then you'll be able to feel the tire, know it's flat and because no pump have to walk the rest of the way home…

Yep, that was me along the A24 by West Ashtead school. 

18minutes later I'm home. 
Siiiiiigh.

133 days to go - gym circuit session with debs

Today was lovely 
I've joined Leatherhead leisure centre so I can swim, use the gym, do classes when up at mums. 
Big sister debs, me and her mate from work did a 30min gym circuit session. I loved it. 10 stations, 45secs/15rest/45secs each station then 15secs to move to the next one. 

Then afternoon tea, Josie dog ate a luxury hot cross bun (she's fine thanks to emergency vet) and then chilling watching tv.
