First planned exercise (park run) of the New Year cancelled due to being struck down with man flu for the second time in a couple of months,

might still go out for a little cycle ride this afternoon though.

Hopefully recover to do the planned swim sessions tomorrow & Monday.

Well done everyone else who's made a good start.

Lots of Ironmen cherries to be broken on here this year

Is it me, or does anyone else seem to ooze chlorine, or what ever chemical it is, from the pores for days after a pool swim?

No? Thought not.

Nice 34 mile bike ride, first time I've had the road bike off the turbo for a couple of months and it felt great.

Well done mate. I'd rather take my bike out in a blizzard than stick it on a turbo

Just back from a 43 miler, with man flu, feel a bit better for it as it goes. Had only intended going out for an 1-2 hours.

Not sure about swimming tomorrow though, could turn into a bit of a snot fest, which wouldnt be nice for the other swimmers.

I have been for a cycle OUTDOORS ! A couple of white-knuckle moments due to potholes and crap on the road (the joy of rural living), but boy did it feel good to be out. 41mins, ave 12.8mph.

It is my birthday today (I now know what it feels like to be the answer to life, the universe and everything) and hubby is working tonight, so I'm having a couple of friends round for dinner and a girls night in. Almost the end of the festive over-indulgence. Rest day tomorrow, and off to a spa on Monday for some 5-star pampering. There is a pool, so I shall swim a bit.

Nice one Nursey, and Happy birthday! I spent all year waiting for the answer to make sense and it never did.

Andy, good going.

Loved the bike ride today. Saw the usual roadkill (and a buzzard for the first time, poor thing), had the usual few assholes passing within inches of me, but had a great time. Tried to keep in Z2 but not easy around here (hilly as a hilly place). Averaged about 16mph I think, bike computer packed in at mile 25.

Happy Birthday Nursey!! (6 days older than me)

Nice to be able to get out and about on a bike at this time of the year, I shall hopefully be out for a few hours tomorrow before nights

Managed another rehab run before work so hoping to continue in an upwards direction !

My hair smells of chlorine for days after so I have started to where my swim cap in the pool.

Happy birthday Nursey

You just want to wear your dress again don't you Raf

Set a PB at parkrun this morning - 20:22 although it is my first one so any time would be a pb

Then straight out on the bike with Seren, good to have company. Boy do I smell nice now after the parkrun and ride

Happy Birthday, Nursey.

Getting my lovely kit today made it feel like my birthday too, and I got the bike off the turbo for the first time since November and tested out my new gear. Totally misjudged the daylight hours and ended up cycling in the dark with no lights, but thoroughly enjoyed myself. kept drifting into z3, though, so will have to watch that.

Now I'm gonna say something girly and you must not hold it against me.... For chlorine hair try redken cleansing cream and quality good moisturiser. It works. Sorry, moment now passed.
