Week 36 Day 2 Run Commute

Ankles and knees were in shock today after getting back into running after so long, so I cut this one short at 4.km.

Weight down from earlier in the week by 0.7kg.

Six weeks since my last run due to – oh – everything and it was tough. I decided to ease myself back in tonight. Up 1.1kg since the end of July, but then I have been on holiday eating mahoosive dinners!

Disappointed not to get flashed by the speed camera as I went past over the 20mph speed limit.

My first run in 12 weeks! The last run was the Milton Keynes Half Marathon on May 1st, so today was difficult to say the least.

Fathers’ Day 32k Cycle Ride

OK, so we may have stopped off at Le Pont de la Tour for a champagne (or two) and a cocktail (or three) which might explain why the last 3km is on a later Garmin Connect entry…

Not a bad little ride out today as we were a bit pushed for time. We did stop for a little refreshment at Le Pont de la Tour though…

Woolwich Sunday 32km Cycle Ride

A bit of a different route here having to be diverted out to the Blackwell Tunnel Southern Approach due to all the residential development there. The usual break for alcohol and snacks at Zizzi’s Canary Wharf in the sunshine.

First part of our cycle ride. Stopped at Zizzi for alcohol and my watch decided to turn itself off.

…and it’s time for the cobblestones…

MK Half Marathon 2017

Three medals for the price of two: MK Half-Marathon 2017, MK Rocket 5K and the 2 Day MK Challenge. Official chip time was 2:48:07. Nowhere near my PB: that’s a result of a lack of training.
