63 days - exactly 9 weeks!!

Today has been good 

100 lengths of the Jubilee pool Although the garmin only registered 99

Then 70k bike ride in approx 3:15 - decided I’d just keep cycling, barely stopped at all, quick selfie while I transferred water bottles, didn’t even stop for a pee!

The bike shoes will not work for 180km

I washed my top box and it disintegrated so I need a new top box as well. 

Plus shoulders are sore

Hopefully the bike fit will help. I think I’ll get a little massage fun as well. 

21km/hr. 

It’s got to be at least 23km/hr

So still plenty to do!!

Spent the rest of the day doing very little 🤣

64 days to go

I’ve made flapjack ready for tomorrow’s long ride. Plus the High5 drink is 3 dessert spoons per water bottle plus a squirt of orange squash. 

This 4 day work shift has gone in a blink of an eye. Very busy but always fun. 

65 days to go

1375 swim before work 33mins

Work

Closed up the allotment 

Ran 5.3km in 44.40

Made a pasta bake

Bed juat before midnight 

66 days to go, a bit of Joni Mitchell

Love my HB outside cycle to work.

Then Joni Mitchell songbook this evening with Abel & Karyn. 

But no S&C.

66 days to go 

I need to say no to stuff so I make sure I don’t miss a training session.

Rest day 20/5 - 67 days to go

Chilled in the allotment before work 

Chilled after work at home watching Netflix 

Realised I do need to sort out getting more sleep 

68 days to go - lovely run

Cycled to the leisure centre

Locked up my bike and headed off for a run - within 5mins I’m in the countryside! Just glorious 

(7km, 55mins) 

Nipped to Phil’s for tea & homemade flapjack / shortbread plus admired the garden. 

Ran back to the leisure centre then cycled back to mum’s via debs to drop a happy surgery day card for her for tomorrow 🥰

Now back in Southampton getting sorted for my next 4 days at work 

 

69 days to go.

The clock juat keeps on ticking!

9 weeks of training then a week of tapering. 

I will be done in 10 weeks 

This time in 10 weeks I think I’ll be quite broken but will feel epic x

S&C 

Stretching

Taking everything gently after yesterdays 109k bike ride

Will run & HB tomorrow before back to work on Wednesday 

Tired yet also feeling a mixture of terror, excitement and determination. 

I now need to sort out my just giving page for Sibs and buy some new bike shoes - my feet were sore on Sunday. 

Plus today Debs checked out Mum’s new toy 🤣
