6.5 hilly miles around Duky Golf course
5Km treadmill run this afternoon in 18.50 first time I have cracked the 20 min mark.
last night steady 10 miles on roads around Fulwood, Preston. Nice lamb curry at leisure centre afterwards
Another 53 minutes this early evening about half of it a la head torch
Hoping for a far more successful 2009
Yesterday
Club run up Pendle. Interesting weather. Felt a bit knackered when we'd finished and batteries nearly died in my head torch so could only see my shadow most of the time. 80 mins
Today
Took some of the sixth form out mtbing. Didn't set a very good example when I nose dived at a bit of speed on a greasy lane near Flasby. Got a good graze on my thigh , bum, calf and arm. Smacked my head pretty hard too, very glad of a decent helmet. Bent my thumb back for good measure making gripping the grips pretty painful. Good ride; 3 hours.
Winced a bit as I got in the bath
Bashed out a relaxed 45mins, legs didn't feel as bad as I would have thought off the back of some really tough training in the last few days. Followed the run with the toughest circuit session we have done so far this winter, 3 x 20 on 20 off on each of the 16 stations!!!
