Training Progress......

Still Training Hard

My main focus in the last couple of weeks has been training for the Watford half marathon.  For this we have tried to increase our long run sessions. Most of the runs have been around the actual race day Watford route as well as running up and down the hills of Berkhamsted.
Below is Melinda conquering the hills around the Watford Half marathon route!!

 

Melinda and I have shown our dedication by running around Berkhamsted in the pouring rain and hail. I have to admit all I wanted was for the run to finish and to get into a hot bubble bath with a nice cup of tea:-)

Last week we also ran the Berkhamsted half marathon route with some of Melinda's buddies,Vikki and Rob. OMG I forgot actually how hilly the route was but it was really nice having a little group of us as it really made the time go quicker as we were all chatting along the route.

 

 

I have also been joining Melinda and Roland in their swim sessions at Sports Space in Hemel. Roland has devised some fab sessions for the pool and I have really enjoyed them. Unfortunately I could not make this Wednesday with Roland but went with Melinda and Vikki on Tuesday. Melinda planned a swim session for us. I love how organised my training buddy is:

 

Thanks Melinda buddy - was an awesome session. Always fun when there is a group of us. My swimming is coming along but still got a way to come!!

 

I have managed to get out on my bike a few times but the bike is seriously my weakest discipline!!! After the Waterford Half marathon I am going to focus alot more on my bike - I definately need to!!
