Fatman to Ironman

ali.before my first ironman I did my achillies and couldn't bikwe or run for 4 months.all over the winter.............I then had to build up slowly......especially the run...........but i did it..so stop panicing........

I only did half my swim this morning as I was feeling crap....felt good that I managed 30 mins

The rain is hammering down and I've just heard thunder.  I've moved my rest day and am taking it today  .

Oooooh, hard as nails.

I, on the other hand, am a big jessie.

 rain....thunder...mmmmmm, this is why I'm doing Lanza and not Outlaw!

Good choice. They never get thunderstorms in that part of the world.

And all the hills are down-hills!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

A good day for Nursey today.  Been to t'physio, and he doesn't need to see me again .

Just back from the pool, did (all front crawl) 500m, then 10x75m as 25 kick / 25 pull / 25 swim, then 250m.  38:19, so I'm happy enough with that considering how little I've done over the past few weeks.

Then I had a sauna 

Yay great news Nursey  and great training 

'want' or 'need' Nursey ??   What exactly did he say?  

I have swum and run and been to the tip, I had never been to the tip before so this was mildly exciting  

going to the tip? exciting?

went to spinning and my calf starting feeling a bit odd when we were doing a sprint. So didn't go fast after that.....

I live a sheltered existance
