It must be nearly........

As I took my second shower today - my first double shower day this year - I realised it must be nearly time to start IM training ! One more week to go before we start.

Can't wait for those days when you are so tired you just want to come in and lie down on the kitchen floor, when the laundry is piled up, when the alarm goes off and you just get up without thinking about it. Bring it on !

These past week, I have managed to get most of Craig's work-outs in but some cold dark morning, when the alarm goes off at 5.15, I must admit I have turned over and bagged it !

However, spring has arrived (we think)...it's been sunny and warmish.....even managed to ride outside for the first time since my accident. It was lovely ! I missed my bike ! Lovely to ride outside in shorts.....

The spring flowers are out and it's light in the morning when I leave the house at 5.30 and even light when I get home from work. Our clocks don't go forward until the end of March when we move to British summertime - we use the word 'summer' loosely over here.

Did my spinning class this morning and did some work and then a 55 minute run.....a two shower day and more laundry.

Tomorrow and swim and run - long bike for Sunday.

Sunday

It's blowing like the clappers outside but nice and sunny....will ride inside again.

Having a nice leisurely breakfast with the Sunday newspapers...have only three more Sundays before IM training starts so will treasure them.

Not much happening here. Went to Gordy's spin class yesterday and then ran straight after. We have a duathlon locally in April and several members of our spin class are going to do this. So from yesterday we are adding a run after the class as a bit of training for them. We had a few runners out yesterday, all of different abilities but there's enough of us so no-one gets left behind.

The sun was out yesterday morning and it was lovely to feel a little warmth but all the cyclists we saw out riding were certainly rugged up and all looked very 'pinched' !

A great week for our football team....West Ham had back to back victories so all is good in the Riley household !

All I need now is for the SKIRT spring line to arrive !
