The futures bright...


And my bogeys are orange. That's a good thing of course because it means that I'm over the worst of the cold that ended up with me having the last week away from the bike. It seems like ages since I last had a cold so I guess I was owed one. I've ordered up some neovite as I'm reliably informed that it stops you from getting colds and makes you go fast.

So now it's back to the training, a ten day block courtesy of the coach. First day back on the bike today for the commute and it felt ok, went for a ME type ride and made pretty good time. Will need to start running again shortly if I want to get a decent time at the BB...

A winter workout

Ha ha!

Just realised that you can update the blog by email! Blinding! I might
start posting more often now I know that.

Anyway, the story since November has been a good one. I hadn't realised
that it had been quite so long as it had...

First things first, there's been a few changes to the look of this blog
as a result of joining up with TSN after an invitation from Chris S. Got
a tasty looking jersey on order and hoping to have enough cash to be
able to afford some 2xu kit ASAP. There have been some thoughts about
another steed but I'm not going to be able to talk about that!

Haven't done any racing in the new kit yet but have entered the
Ballbuster at the end of March and hoping to put in a reasonable time on
the day after the consistent training I've been doing.

The ankle that I mentioned in the other post took a bit longer to heal
then I would have hoped but thinking back it was pretty badly bruised
and was making some nice clicking noises at the time so maybe I was a
bit naive to think that it would be gone in a week or two. Skipped the
running for a while as a result of this before heading out on some nice
easy runs with the GF. Been coming along nicely and in the last few
weeks I've been running 8miles in a hour and feeling really comfortable.
It's hard to quantify at this point of the year but all I've really done
is very low intensity workouts on the bike and when running as well as
some weight work in the gym and it all feels like it's coming together.
Everything has gone really well even with Christmas with the exception
of a cold that I picked up this week which has meant I've taken a few
days out.

Blog test

Here's me just wondering if I can update the blog with an quick email?
