8th Week

Two months in – bludy hell…

So after a couple of months and I am still here, getting better, stronger, fitter, faster, fatter. Was a little ill this week yet again, but not as bad as before, so had Monday and Tues off. On Tuesday I had to go into work as they were interviewing graduates and I was playing a role of someone they had to have a meeting with to discuss ideas. It was fun. My lot were a little nervous, one in particular – but they did a reasonable job – it is interesting seeing how naive they are. Was in Bristol on Weds, so took the early train and had no time to go out, also accidently had five Amstel’s (or was it six) whilst running our planning meeting. Good day.

Thurs saw me in the pool, and was there for 45 mins  and managed to get 1.5K swim done a little slow, but at least I seem to be able to do it, 45 lengths of my little pool. Although I didn’t really stop for breath but did stop because my silly nose clip kept coming off – so I have ordered a new couple – for checking out this week i hope.

Went for a run on Friday, nothing on Sat but out for a big 34 mile cycle on Sunday – which was a lot easier than last week. Still plenty of hills, maybe not quite so many as last week. But a good run – out to Caerleon, Newbridge-on-Usk back passed Celtic Manor into Newport, through Goldcliff and back home.

Cycle – 1 x 34 (28miles in 2hrs)

Run – 1 x 3mile (27)

Swim – 1 x 1.5 k – 45 mins

Beer – 6 Amstel, 4 Stella, 8 Stella tins
