End of Week 7

I ended up taking two rest day’s back to back last week…felt a bit guilty about that but couldn’t really be helped. I’ve managed to pull a muscle in my shoulder and it hurts like hell. Still does today, think I might have to have it seen to…

Still managed a bike ride on Saturday, Pip and I went to Richmond Park to do laps. Laps of RP can be really boring, but doing them with someone makes for a much easier ride. We also changed direction, so 2 laps counter clockwise, then 2 clockwise then one more counter clockwise. Definitely breaks it up and makes it bearable. After 5 laps , Pip needed to head off, so I did one more lap before heading home. Mainly because I was halfway through the lap anyway and also because I wanted to avoid the really short sharp hill. So six laps in the end, a new record!!! Pip was going great guns, that girl is much stronger and faster then she thinks she is…just needs to be prepared to hurt a little…

Saturday’s run was painful, the knees and shoulder were giving me hell, I was a bit short on the run, but not the end of the world. The weather had also turned into a real mare which made for tough going. But I’m glad I did it…

This week is going to be a bit all over the place as Bronson, Leo and I are heading to Belfast for a long weekend. Bronson is going there on business but as his Granddad lives there we are combining it with a family trip. We are staying in a real posh hotel that has a gym, so will hopefully still get a decent amount of training in.
