What a day!!

24hours ago I was getting hooked up to machines a part of the driving tired / semi automated car research at Bolderwood. Loved it. So tired. I found automated driving very boring!

Maybe 5/5.5 hours sleep.
10am physio Liam - doubled my weights for knee - 30kg and leg press 60kg! But I can gently start running again. Three weeks to build up but reckons the Soton half will be fine but def lakesman half.
Did 10mins on the step machine.

Update Louise about the driving experiment.

Wow. 
Rain was so hard.
Got to Watersports - gate locked. Chucking it down, high tide. Decided to just go home.
While cycling Riverside Park - face started to hurt - blinking HAIL!!!
So happy to get home.

Fell asleep in my chair.
Print room for a cuppa with Muts - so lovely to see her - we haven't seen each other for weeks.

Light bulb exploded when I got home.
HB with Suzanne - smashed it.
Food, Netflix and now bedtime. 

What a day!!!!

Tough HB - knee def feeling better :)

As soon as I woke up this morning I noticed that my left knee felt loads better - it wasn't sore :)

Tough HB - could sense the knee but still not really sore.
Walked to work - can feel knee abit but I reckon the no running and strength exercises are def helping.

Ten weeks to go. Time to ramp up my swimming x

Bit off the boil...

As usual, uncertainly about an injury has left me a bit in limbo with my training.
I need to stop worrying, recognise my bike training is going well. Swimming needs some attention and will know about running on Thursday

And now it's April and 11 weeks to the Lakesman

Did 4.75 hours of jet washing yesterday and then a sprint HB session this morning. Am now very tired, just chilling before shower and off to work. Knee still sore. Will see what Physio Liam thinks on Thursday. He doesn't think I've injured it badly so Mabes this is just residual soreness...

This next couple of months are the key training months - I've laid down the foundations and now it's full steam ahead :)
