Where'd the weekend go?
Thanks for your messages - its great to be back. Can't promise i'll do the daily blogging but I will try to catch up with your running adventures at least on a Sunday evening. Well all good intentions for the week ahead and a great mojo boost!!
After my flying swimming, cycle, oh a jog back down that dreaded hill for my car last week - I managed a couple more swims, a long walk this morning, and then the RB guilt crept in, so a hasty 2 mile something, well almost three miles jog this afternoon. It took forever, its sooooooo hard - added pounds don't help I guess but its a start.
Any swimmers out there will know the Great North Swim in Windermere was cancelled, pesky blue/green algae put paid to my weekend plans. Still not to be outdone I've entered my first ever sea swim in Torbay - two weeks today - yikes a mile, potentially in wavy water - so swimming will be my forte for the next fortnight! (Carmen, you have a lot to answer for!!)
Anyhow, I digressed........ hoping to schedule Bramham Reindeer Run (yep, soon be that time again!! 10k in Dec) and then the Blackpool 1/2 (snow permitting) in Feb - so might see some of you there.
Oh and five days into my September alcohol ban - can't be bad

kraftykat 'Blimey! Another blog already? Can't keep up wi ya! I'm sure you will do great at the Torbay swim, you're such a good swimmer. And it's good that you have some races planned for the next few months to keep you focused. Hope you can make Blackpool next year. Well done with the alcohol ban - what's the reason? Just trying to run/swim in a straight line???? Ha ha .....' added 5th Sep 2010

Shaun 'That swim sounds like it could be interesting! Hope it goes well you. As for the alcohol ban, when I first read that sentance I thought it meant you'd been given an ASBO...' added 6th Sep 2010
