So I went for a ride this morning – and it was terrible. I did not know what was happening. I just could not keep up at all! I kept dropping off the back of the group – it was awful. Yes there was a headwind, but it did not seem to be hampering anyone [...]

I can’t believe that I have been on holiday for nearly a week – time has flown. In fact how on earth do I ever fit work in as well???
So have I been sticking to my holiday plans of long swim, cycles and runs? The short answer – no. I have been sticking (mostly) to [...]

What an awesome way to start the holidays. Well ok, work today kind of gets in the way for a few hours but I can cope.
I went out for a ride on my new bike this morning and the weather was and still is spectacular! I think the new positioning will take some getting used [...]

I have a song stuck in my mind, but I don’t know which song. And I can’t Google it because I just have the melody, and every time I try to think of what the words are I come up with different ones, and I can’t hum it to anybody – well because I [...]

Now, I consider myself a morning person. Usually! This morning was no exception, or so I thought. I woke up at 4:30am to go cycle. I remembered everything and put it all in my car. (I am scared of traffic so drive to my mom’s house and then cycle from there). Once I got there [...]

At the end of this week I am going on holiday – yippee!! 3 Whole weeks of nothingness. Well not quite nothingness, but not work. My plan is for lots of long rides and runs and sea swims! The only little glitch might be Christmas Day and the following few days. We are going to [...]

So no news on the bike. I am still holding thumbs.
This morning though I went for a cycle – on my own. This was a first as I am always too nervous to go out on my own. But it was fine. No punctures, falls or nervous breakdowns of any kind. There was a lot [...]
