Saturday & Sunday no exercise went away with the family for the weekend, took my trainers but didn't find the time to use them.
Monday 22nd, did 40 mins on the turbo trainer, getting a bit bored with riding in the garage now, even Miami vice is getting dull!
Tuesday 23rd, went to the gym on the way home from work, ( Mike Davies wasted no time getting back into the swing after his weeks altitude training) I did a 3 mile run in 18.40 then went onto the bike for a 5 mile ride, got very hot and didn't feel comfortable so went for a swim.
Wednesday 24th, had one of those eureka moments at 3.30am laid awake for an hour watching the ceiling trying to decide what to do Run or Bike? decided to run as this would cause less disruption getting out of the house without waking the wife. failed anyway. completed 7.5 miles out and along the sea front, Fog, drizzle not entirely pleasant, I hope the heart rate monitor is up the spout again otherwise I may be heading for a heart attack, I am aware I'm not a morning person, ran at a very slow pace and HR was still above 200bpm at times. I did a full and strenuous days work as usual and didn't fall asleep once, then went swimming for an hour, did 2250m, a good session but now need to do more to be able to come out of the water and not be completely knackered.
Thursday 25th, started with a 6 mile two bridges run,(pissing down again!) wanted to run a hard session to build some pace, mile splits were: mile 1, 7.25m/m, 2, 6.38m/m, 3, 6.24m/m, 4, 6.41, 5, 6.29, 6, 6.27m/m, total time was 39.58. Avg pace 6.41 mins/mile. all the rock estate boys were running well. Then on to Kirkley for another circuit session, I don't think these sessions will ever get any easier, finished off with a game of basketball/rugby mix with minimal skill levels involved excluding the odd moment of brilliance displayed by some.
Friday, bottle of wine, Paella and an open fire, relaxation at it's best.
If anyone else wants to take on this blog before it kills me please feel free!!
