The Psychiatric Wing

forecast here is constant rain

sacked off parkrun as don't want the temptation to run too fast, off out shortly for a loosener

Oh what a lucky person ......  I shall do my best to lose him in the woods for a small fee 


I have done a shade over 3 hours on the bike today so he may be able to actually keep up tomorrow!

Hope......sounds like fun........

I enjoyed my cross country in bath and ran fast for me...........

going on a long bike tomorrow and heading north........weather doesn't look kind.....off to bed now

Hope ... its going to snow in Essex tomorrow  

Meldy forgot to say i was ona cut back week so decided to try and do some swimming without a pullbuoy.....managed 2 lengths front crawl followed by 2 lengths breaststroke..repeated this 4 times..........was horrible .. i kept on swallowing more water and coughing and i was shattered,,,,,,,,,The blaenavon tri in May is going to fiun

Thats a goodstart Seren, it will get better!!   You knowthe basics and you know how to breathe so you just need to concentrate on technique

I think I killed the Barlos


Chriiiiist does he whinge !!!

i thought you were going to go easy on him........

i survived nearly 75 miles in the rain.had to take off my glasses due to them steaming up all the time.but then all the dirt and grit kept on getting in my eye........my legs could have gone on but i was freezing so was pleased to get back to the car.......

hope the weather improves for next sunday for the 100

We had 4 hours planned,by the time he arrived at mine he was 'only up to 2' so we went out and up the woods on the mtb
decided to do 3 loops of my hill reps loop and then he started whinging about that!!   So we only did 2 of those
I came home and went to the gym, did 45 mins on the cross trainer and turned it into a brick session!!

and how come you are on 100's already?!

the cycling club do reliabilty rides in feb.50 one wek, 75 the next and then 100,,,,,,too good an opportunity to get the miles in.......I'm hoping to get in a few 100 milers as i think i have a good base from last spring to build on......done a 72 and several 50 milers already on my own....

i originally was going to turn it into a small brick session but was so wet to the core that i abandoned that idea

It really has been a miserable weekend for biking ... everything is soaked and covered in mud !!

yes, horrendous rain today, walked across to the uni library and half of the paths are underwater.

run this evening which was a question of dodging the puddles

I managed to dodge all the snow but its raining here. Still, I've got the day off work so I'm happy. Loads to do today actually. I have a very long todo list! I have to get my 10 mile run in. I always head to Essex fully committed to keeping to my run schedule but it never happens. I feel a bit selfish disappearing for hours on my own when we don't get to see the family much.

I did manage 7 miles with a friend yesterday which was fantastic. 

schedules are there to be jigged around Hope.......

half term for my boys today.apart from eldest who has hs next week which works a treat as it means I have more chance of getting some training done....

off to try a swim now

Good old dumping of snow overnight .. slow drive in to work and its still trying to snow

Rest day today thank goodness 

The weather was awful yesterday, 1 hour 40 or whatever we did was more than enough for me.

Meldy, you did have the option of doing a 3rd loop, if I remember rightly you buckered

45 minutes on the cross trainer is hardly the two hours that you said youd be doing
