Wednesday!

Well Im back at it. Training started properly again at the beginning of the week and (apart from forgetting to post it on the blog!)its going well.

Im not as far behind as I thought I might be. I can still do 10kms comfortabley and on Tuesday managed to push a little harder and do nearly 15....so its a start!

Ive swum tonight and that was ok too - so maybe its not ALL doom and gloom.

Now as long as I dont eat the doughnut sitting in the fridge...............................................................

aaagggghhhhhh!!!!

Ive been so taken up with summer holidays, keeping kids happy, birthdays, PR and stuff!.............Ive forgotten to train!!

Ok so thats not strictly true - Ive kinda got sidetracked but Ive had my wake-up call in that Ive actually looked at the countdown on the blog for once and its frighten the ##**** out of me!

Ah well, I'll have to start putting in some seriously hard work now I guess or its really REALLY going to hurt in October and I'll have the school run to do the day after!

We're famous!

Ok so its only the local paper but hey,........ Grace is impressed!

Tomorrow Gloucestershire....then the World!!!

Yesterday I did the Severnsound interview and then today Ive been talking to a journalist on the Echo, Citizen , Forester and Stroud papers. We will be in the paper tomorrow apparently barring an outbreak of war, new series of Dr Who or the Americans deciding to invade the Forest of Dean ....................... so watch out for it - and no laughing at our picture please.

Meanwhile

OK so I havent been to the gym for a while but I consider managing three children on summer holidays training in itself - mental if not physical!

Yesterday Grace and I were in Symonds Yat East to have our photo taken for the local papers.

(FOR ALL THE COMPETITORS OUT THERE IT IS APPARENTLY WHERE THE CHALLENGE WILL START AND FINISH....................BUT DONT TELL ANYONE!) I did try to get more info but there is only so long you can hold someone upside down before the general public notices!

Following on in this quest for media domination I did a live interview on Radio Gloucestershire yesterday evening and am doing a pre-recorded one today for Severn Sound Radio. Hopefully it will add some more money to the sponsorship and if not at least its a good opportunity to talk about CLIC Sargent and what they do.

Running again

I have managed to do 10km a bit faster now. Cycled along quite happily to the dulcit tones of Aerosmith last night! Its amazing what a bit of motivational music does, isnt it?!
Anyhow, I have a night off tonight and then hopefully a spin class tomorrow although it depends on getting a babysitter........If I cant I'll just have to go for a bike ride instead (dum dum dum!) Now theres a scary thought - me on a bike on a public road! Consider yourselves warned!
