Leap before I looked

Just a quick note, I was supposed to be taking life a little easier. My main focus these days is the kilomathon series having gone up to marathon world and not enjoyed it, this means that I should be able to rest for a couple of months before training starts again in July....
Then my brain spotted my fingers pressing send.. Apparently I'm now doing the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride in three weeks, 60 ish miles with no real long distance bike riding experience. To be fair, I have been commuting to work on the bike now for about 8 months and this means I have clocked over a thousand miles in the saddle - BUT!! I wouldn't dream of standing at the start of a marathon only having done 2 x 30 minute runs a day.. I must have had a mental breakdown.
On other training updates, my lunchtime running group is still going strong if slightly low on numbers - finding time and energy to run 4K 3 times a week during the lunch hour is a great stress buster and I just ran a PB for 6 miles on Sunday (48:30) - just a shame I've put 3 pounds on..... Oh well, back to lettuce for me!
Hope you are all doing well out there
