Pounding Those Roads

Well getting well back into my training. Friday was a fairly tough Swimming Group training session for HQ PT then went out and did the 17.5k run to Mare Harbour in very windy conditions.

I even took it easy for the Killicks in the mess and got myself an early night - in bed for 2230hrs.

It was rather novel getting up on a Saturday Morning and and not feeling like crap. I secured early and went back in the pool, did a lot of breast stroke today to get me ready for next week Swimming Gala as I have been stiffed to do the 100m Breast Stroke. After that I went to the extra Spinning session that had been laid on and whilst not the most arduious of sessions, it got the Heart Rate up and probably just what I needed.

Hard work done, it was time to chill and went up to Sharkies at about 1730hrs. After a good couple of hours headed down to Cats Cradle and met up with the NEFI crowd and pratised my Jack Two Step - looking good.

Up early on Sunday and into breakfast - a real weekend of firsts. No breakfast in bed this Sunday. Chilled till approx mid day then did the 10k route, followed swiftly by a pool session and sauna. Sun was no very strong and wind very low so sat on the grass by accom and enjoyed a very cold bottle of white wine. Gave tea a miss and had early night.

Monday 18th was busy day at work and only managed on work out which was the 10k and not enjoyable as the wind was horrible. Tuesday was a little better planned and managed to do an hour in the Gym then chilled watched the Man City/Man U game then went back down and did an hour in the pool and 20 mins in Sauna. Had a real restless night and at 0500hrs on the Wednesday gave up on trying to sleep and put my kit on and went and did the 10k again, absolutely beautiful morning and really enjoyed my run.

It is now 0940hrs and got swimming trials at 1100hrs, then plan another fat burning hour on the cross trainer before my swimming lesson at 1815hrs. No quiz tonight at the weight is finally starting to move. Post run weight yesterday was 80.6kg compared to my arrival weight of 89kg.

I will let you know tomorrow how todays training goes.
