Training for a shorter Tri

Oh DB, take care of yourself! Sending hugs to you.

Well done Mikasa

And Razor you seem to be doing wonderfully!

had a really lovely bike ride today. Late afternoon just as dark was coming. Was so mild and peaceful once I got out of the town and into the country park. Very happy.

And tomorrow I get back to swimming. First time since the Hols started and I really hope there aren't too many people in the pool.

Razor, all going grand it appears. Great stuff on the bike. Chili, sounds like lovely ride. Really need to brave the roads again. 

I did manage a 17min run all in one go this evening. Averaging 10.3min/mile. Most excited. No walk breaks anymore and things feel ok. Was rubbish during nights and didn't train at all though.

Maths, how is it back at work? 

Mikasa, always good having someone to push you. Keep pushing on...

Mrsd well done on your run

I am giving myself an easy week on the training while I cope with the first week back at work, although I could do with the exercise to deal with the stress. Eldest son has turned into a stupid annoying brat again now he is back at school with his stupid friends! he was much calmer and nicer over xmas....Dealing with him is way more stressful than dealing with the 200+ kids that I teach!!

That's EXACTLY the words I was looking for. My youngest has just turned into one too.

how old is he DB? Mine is 12 and the transformation occured on starting secondary school this September. He was much nicer before!

 He's become a teenager!!! ((((((hugs))))))

 I blame the parents!

I am trying to persuade the other one to stay 8 forever....

The 12 year old is OK, sort of, it's the 9 year old that is becoming the problem!

maybe we should swap - I'll have your 12 year old and you have my 12 year old

Keep 12 year olds away from me, they are aliens.

I did my first 2.5 min run and 1 min walk, made sure I did a good warm up by walking for 7 mins before running.

Cycling is on the agenda for tomorrow.

Got a throat infection - can't do anything

(()) to all. God, I am jealous of you lot who are at it!

Glad tonight was 40 min turbo in the garage, it certainly felt cold out.
I have managed 4 days of training, so hopefully I can keep it up and stick with the little bit of everything training.

Got to check on Winterswim as I think the next round is 800m, which I find a challenge to do in the pool, having to dodge the head up breast strokers and others that don't swim at a consistent pace.

Chilibean, plenty of hot lemon and honey drinks may help.

Good run tonight with the club. Hilly 10km in 47minutes. Hadn't run since last Friday, due to being a socialite at the weekend, and resting for the power test. Swim tomorrow, including some stroke analysis .

got really fed up in the pool last night with all the people that don't understand the concept of a lane swim.

CJ - yep, winterswim is 800m, not sure when the round finishes
