I am alive!
Hey All,
I know i have disappeared for a couple of days....(a week!) but now i am back :)
What have i been up to....nothing really! Lets see. The training has been a bit slack of late as we know. i went running once or twice last week, and have been cycling around a bit as i am lacking my transport still.
I had a reasonably sized fast ride on Tuesday, then rode to the train station and back on Wednesday which is probably 5k or so. So nothing really of merit. Went for a run on friday night which was filled with pain and struggle and the 50 minutes i ran for felt more like 6 hours. No seriously. I just couldnt seem to find the rythm i was after and had to stop for water twice. Think i dont drink enough during the day and get dyhydrated while i am doing it? any ideas?
Saturday i went bridal shoping and then bought some knicks! my first pair! whoot :) although i must admit, i look a bit silly in them...
Then yesterday. I did the 50K Loop the lake ride! Ok, so I was expecting less hills then there were....but i managed to finish in around 2.5 hours which i was happy with. thhe first 30k was pretty much all hill riding, with some very slow steep parts which made me change down a cog. I rode the first 15 in the big wheel and then had to drop it down which i dont like doing cause its really hard to get it back on again (poor hillary!). Anyway....what was really cool though, was I was fine going up the hills and actually felt quite strong through it, but the going down is where i have the issues, cause i freak that i am going to fall down, and then put my brakes on :) I think my career as a Luge rider is limited!
Anyway, have pulled up with some sore shoulders this morning, but apart from that, all good! think it may have had something to do with the backpack i had to lug around :)
My 15th date....one word. Amazing.
