It's been a while

Lots happening recently so I haven't had much time to blog. So I'm going to try and get everything down in a nice short way so not to bore you all.

Georgie: she's wonderful. 13 weeks old now and is developing a beautiful character. We're always greeted in the morning with big gummy smiles. She's booked in for swimming lessons later this month. Probably faster than her Dad

Wifey: we recently celebrated 9 years together. Love her more than ever.

Training: I've been getting more regular training in. It's not very structured. I've managed 2 bike, 2 swims (now open water) and a run at Black Park Parkrun each week. My run times have dropped by 3 minutes since I started training again. Partly due to training and partly due to losing 7lbs in 6 weeks. Really happy with the weight loss and on track to get to where I want by Windsor Tri next month.

I recently had my metabolic test results back and they showed that last year I was training at too high a heart rate for too much of the time. So this year it's more of the long, slow stuff. Must admit I'm not finding it easy as to keep my HR down I have to run really slowly. Still, a few of you guys and gals have said this works so I'll continue and report back.

Cycling has involved some long slow rides interspersed with a couple of local time trials which I've loved doing. Can't make one for the next couple of weeks but have plotted a 10 mile course from home which is a great benchmark.

Up next for me is Marlow 5 mile run this Sunday. Planning to cycle over and. Run as a brick session. Got to do more of those in the coming weeks.

That's all for now. Apologies for those of you who read the unsaved version. Blimmin' technology beat me again.

Until next time.
