So, Saturday already!
The week started well with a bit of coach Troy on Monday but after Sundays bike ride it took a lot to get my legs moving fast enough to get the heart rate up to a worthwhile rate. Still, I did it.
Wednesday started VERY early with a journey down to Reading. My legs were still tired from Sunday and Monday but I took my running kit with me. Then an evil colleague invited me out for a curry that evening. OH NO!!!!
But do you know what - I resisted the temptation, went for a 'run' and ate relatively healthily at the hotel.
The run was more of a waddle but I experimented with my style (ha haa!) and found that it was a lot easier and more comfortable to use a longer stride, but it tired me out a lot more quickly. More practise needed, I think. Still, that's another 2.5 miles done.
Thursday was another long day with a drive home from Reading. Tired tired tired. And I woke up with a really bad back - you know the sort where you get out of bed and do a great impression of the 'ascent of man' picture? So Friday was another lazy day.
Plus side though, I didn't have any wine on Friday night, I had a small vodka with fresh orange yet I woke with what felt like a hangover (and a bad back still). How's that work then? Not fair.
J cooked 'lazy pierogi'. It wasn't bad, but fairly stodgy, typical Polish fare. We might try it again, but J says we need to 'increase the cheese:stodge ratio'...
In related news, I ordered some scales last week and they turned up on Thursday. They're those fancy ones that measure your body fat %. Oh dear. I think my jokes about a camembert reinforced skeleton might not have been so far off the mark. Henceforth I shall be known as Fat Knacker Cheese Bimbo.
This may be my last post. Tomorrow I am going for a ride around Stanage/Houndkirk and Sallie has had her bike fixed and J seems to have regained his fitness so my short lived 'hill supremo' status is under threat.
There's been a lack of food related posts lately, so I'll post another recipe in a bit...
