Training Update.....

Monday

I took my spin class this morning and we focused on RPM work followed by hills and sprints. I felt very hot and tired afterwards. My buddy Melinda and I joined in with Soph's spin class this evening. She made us work this evening!! Once we had finished spin we went to the pool to have a swim in our wetsuits. Yes, we looked like weirdo's and had people asking us what we were doing. It was Melinda's idea to have a swim in our wetsuits so we remembered how it felt. I was worried about looking like a weirdo but it was a good shout from my buddy. Glad we did it:-)

Melinda had awesome news today - She will be representing GB in a half ironman for her age group in October. Super proud of you buddy:-)

 

Tuesday

Melinda and I ran from her house today. We did our warm up and then off we went for our last long run before Majorca 70.3. We were running along and heading up a hill when we saw Jenny and Di coming down the hill on their road bikes, we stopped for a chat. ( I was a little relieved as I got to stop on the hill:-)). Throughout the run, we had people beeping and waving at us and we are never always sure who it is but we give them a wave! (Now I know it was you Sally buddy:-)  We stopped at the 10km mark and had our gel to practice taking it on. We were happy once we finished and pleased we got our 16km mileage.

Wednesday

I woke up early and met my buddy Vikki in the pool at Sportspace. We put our heads down and got some laps in and I felt good this morning. Vikki said I was looking strong so coming from her makes me feel positive. Vikki is super speedy in the water. We did do a couple of lengths where I went off first and Vikki tried to catch me. OMG I was knackered because I had to swim so fast to keep ahead of Vikki but she was very close behind me. It was fun:-)

I did Carole Ann's spin class this evening. Flipping heck she made us work tonight. Awesome session buddy:-)

Thursday

I had two committed run club buddies this morning. It was raining and they were still keen to go - love it:-) We managed a 5km run and got drenched but was good fun.

Gemma, Dionne and me

After work I went to drop my bike off  at pedalworks to get it serviced before Majorca and I had booked a massage with Otts. OMG is was so painful today. Serves me right for not having regular massages.

Otts had fun torturing me - thanks buddy:-)

Friday

Grainne and I went for an easy 10km run together this morning. Grainne is ready for the Watford 10km on Monday:-)

Gee and me before our run

I did also did a 7km run with Gemma this afternoon.

After work I went to pedalworks to collect my bike. It all seems in working order and I am loving my new pink grips:-)

Love my bike
