Missed a k somewhere, actual total is 611.5/ 388.5

My legs were pretty achy yesterday but better today, although I felt it while I was running. I've just entered a 10km for October, I might try and do some speed work next to work on my pace.

bear How’s the legs after the HM? Have you got another goal your aiming for?

Quick lunch time dash to collect something so I ran there n back 4.3k but gosh it’s really humid!

Brick Tri-training session today. 17k approx on bike - well it ended up being a hour on the turbo as I didn’t fancy taking the road bike out on the wet streets but then I went straight into 6k run. Legs felt strong which was goodSmile

Well done bear awesome time hope you enjoyed it & not too fatigued today.

Your doing great amy hope you can juggle it with work. I must admit my first year back after 2nd lot of Mat leave my exercise dropped off a cliff after previously walking everywhere- there just didn’t seem to be enough hours in the day. It’s much easier now my kids are bit older & can be left at their activities and I can go run.

That's great @thenewaverage is that a PB for you?

I've walked 38.77 miles this week, again not as much as I hoped but I have walked over 150 miles in April which means I'll get my Race at your pace award!

661.34/838.66

I'm going to aim for a huge mile count in May as I'll be back at work in June so have no idea what impact that will have on my mile counts. If I can walk 50 miles a week in May I'll be very happy!

Miserable with a stitch but I'd waited all day to go out so I made myself do it.

TriSkiRun99 · 22/04/2019 10:59

Well done Amy whatever your goal you are always lapping everyone on the couch! My long run today was a over a min slower every km that my faster pace but the weather was perfect so I just happy plodded along. Smile

TriSkiRun99 · 22/04/2019 10:57

Lovely steady 16.5k/10m ran this morning, temp perfect for me started at 5c, finished around 14c. Bit slower than I’d have liked but my longest run since Feb HM.

Wow bear that’s awesome 5k PB well done! I’m still trying to get sub-29min Smile

TriSkiRun99 · 21/04/2019 15:16

Sea swim yesterday and today. No idea on distance as yesterday was our good half hour plus got pulled by current so drifted off course. Today was just 10min dip as very cold despite winter wetsuit as different beach and much cooler water.

Tri training this morning instead of long run. Hilly Bike 20k then straight into 5k run. Really pleased felt fine in puff but it was my foot pins n needles which slowed my run as had to keep stopping to stretch it.

Turbo trainer 35min at lunchtime then 9.5k run tonight. Planning to try a 10m run Friday morn as DH can have kids Smile. Not done further than 6m since mid-Febs HM so it will be a challenge.
