Week 6 to Week 7

Friday
Run – 8,3km in 53 mins

Saturday
Bike – 73km in 3hr15min. Went out with Sharon and Pip again…went a slightly different route to the Surrey Hills. Ended up on Box hill where we caught the tail end of the Ballbuster Duathlon. Was quite chuffed with myself as I passed 3 competitors coming up Zig Zag rd that takes you to the top of the hill. Me overtake people on a hill is unheard of!!!



View from the top of Box hill, overlooking Dorking (I think).










Pic taken on the move, that's the Pipster in her Tritalk Gear....and my rather large looking right ear!!!








The road ahead, as we head off Box hill towards Leatherhead.

Sunday
Run around 30 mins of running, don’t know how far. Bit of a disaster i.t.o. running, but a fun morning out anyway. I wanted to do the Richmond park loop with Leo, but I was finding the running and pushing of the jogger hard on the knees, so decided to take a short cut back to the car. We took a cross country trail to Pen Ponds, I then had to cross a huge muddy section where we both nearly got stuck. My trainers and legs where caked in a mixture of Deer poop and mud. Great!!!!

Not great for running, but hey, sometimes you just have to say, to hell with it and rather go jumping in the mud with your toddler!!!!

Week 7


Monday
Turbo – 22,5km in around 45min, 7km Run in 43min. After chatting with a fellow club mate who did his first HIM last year, (or was it the year before???) I decided to try a wee brick to see what the knees would have to say. So I did a 22,5km (15 mile Turbo and the tootled out for a run. It was slow and a bit painful to begin with but not half bad. Think I’ll try a few more of these in the near future, maybe a run after my long bike ride…gotta get the legs used to the pain!
