Weight loss & PB's

Was just wondering what i was going to write this week & thinking not much has happened, this is going to be a dull one. However, the more i thought the more i realised there has been some pretty funky stuff.

Lost another 2lbs so now down to 14st 1lb. Also only one month to go for my first years stopped smoking anniversary.

Monday - 37.09 mile  Bike ride - http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/125121913

Tuesday  - 4.16 mile run - http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/125539015 - felt pretty good. Now up to 45 minutes. Getting a bit of pain down the outside of my right shin though.

Wednesday - 1 hour swim. This was a groundbreaking session. Was intending really going for it with the front crawl but lost my nose clip on the second length. So, wasted 5 minutes messing about trying to find that, i didn't. Thought I'd carry on with front crawl anyway & too my surprise i did OK. Good hard blasts from the snout before i took a breath stopped me from snorting water the main problem I'd had when first learning the stroke.

Managed 64 lengths. 40 of which were front crawl, 8 of which were in a row. ;-) Would have gone open water swimming but a last minute late work meeting scuppered that plan. Hopefully next week

Thursday & Friday -  rest days.

Saturday - smashed my park run time by 53 seconds. New PB 24.39. http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/127200713

Then went out for a cycle ride with Matt, Jim & Karl. Three of us are doing the Norwich 100 next week so this was going to be our last biggy before that. Planned 64 miles.

10 minute break at Cromer

Turned into 70 miles. Felt good though & it looks like i may have got my seating position right now. Although after attaching my new bike bag today I had to move the seat again.

I also cycled up Gas Hill in Norwich for the first time. Jeez it's a beast. Doubt I'll be entering Gas Hill Gasp this year, was nice to get the notorious climb under my belt though.

Sunday - Have had a rest day from everything so i can do some house stuff. Cleaned up my Ducati as well so i can sell it. If your interested here it is. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270982000011&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

Be sad to see it go but i only use it to go to work and back. I'll be better off cycling or running in.
