45mins. 3.1miles. Nice and gentle. Felt great

Obviously I didn't want to over do it so took it really gently. Felt awesome. According to Google maps timeline 3.1miles in 45mins.

After ten days of illness - exercised today :)

Thirty minutes of hurtbox after ten days of sleeping rest fluids and netflix

And out the other side after 8 days of illness

Well I wasn't quite expecting this training pause...

It was all going so well!

Saturday must have done about 20 miles of cycling then Auntie's 80th.  Was starting to feel a bit peaky, didn't have any alcohol so decided to whoop and cheer the gang at the cc6 instead of racing.

Monday was training Uni so went into work. And that was all she wrote for the rest of the week. 

Called in sick Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Thought I might be okay Friday so off to lidls for supplies. Spent about half an hour on the sofa recovering so decided mabes not quite recovered!!!

Friday was also spent in pj's. Have watched alot of Netflix. 

Met Suzanne for a cuppa at Tudor House Saturday morning (no parkrun). Had a walk. Then in for the rest of the day.

Sunday - whooped and cheered at Stubbington. Drank tea. Loved it. Popped into A's on way home. Back by 3pm. Tidied. Pottered. Now in for the evening and the divisional round of the playoffs. 

Will def be back at work tomorrow 12 noon. 

Will gently get back into Operation Brighton Marathon this week. 

Overall though I'm feeling positive for my training, happy in the knowledge I've allowed myself to rest and recuperate from my lurgy :)

Bit tired today....

Six days on the trot for both working and excersizing so have taken today off.

Great HB session. Yes I did alot of backpedderling and I put my ftp down to 151 but I'm so glad I kept at it.

I've now given my bike a good wash and have used my litter picker. All in all a lovely morning  :)

Thursday 4th Jan

I run-led myself and two fellow LRRs at the track - 5mins run / 1 min walk x8

I ended up doing 5.2km in 4mins :)

At work I did 400m in 9.04.46 

I'm feeling quietly confident about of&h for January. I wonder if I've lost any weight?

HB a run and swim :)

Today - we'll yesterday now (3/1) I did HB with Kelly and Darryl from tri club then went for a quick run. Left shin - bit sore... Bumped into Charlotte so walked her halfway home - then I ran home. Shin fine. 20mins.

Work - swam during break.  Miscounted again. 350m 8.09.97

Feeling positive for January 

Happy New Year! Operation Fit and Healthy is baaaaaaack :)

I think I had PTSD from Weymouth 70.3

But I reckon I've finally got over the horror of it and am now ready to focus on my 2018 season. Needless to say making sure I actually do enough training for my upcoming events will be my major focus 

Although I also loved the event - all eight hours twenty four minutes and twenty seven seconds. And my feelings of total and utter epic accomplishment are second to none. Just look at the pic taken in the finishing chute for proof x

So what have I done to kick start of&h?

I've made a pact with myself that I'll swim every day that I'm at the Jubilee Sports Centre and I've signed up to Runcamps Runuary. 

30/12 - 20mins of splashing about while chatting to Sarah

31/12 - 400m 9.33.02

01/01 - 350m 8.05.96 (mis-counted!)

02/01 - 400m 9.25.25 and 35mins at Hurtbox 

Plus I'm focused on losing 20lbs by the Brighton Marathon in 14 weeks time. 

Wahooooooooo

Let's do this!!!!!!
