The year
rolls on its now only 2 months to The Grizzly, I am managing to run 8 miles a
couple of times a week and continue with Spinning and Kettle bells, cycling has
not been great with only one ride a week, the weather has been very wet and
windy turning very cold earlier this week.
I did my
Seaton Hole to Fountains Inn and return over the beach at Branscombe last
Monday morning, a beautiful fresh morning, 9 miles covered and 1200 feet of
climbing, not to mention the dreaded beach!!! The sun shone and the temperature
just right for running, I saw very few people and felt ok at the end, coffee
and Christmas cake welcome. I was pleased and it was my first off road run for
sometime.
Thursday
saw me and Mrs Ian B driving over to Bournemouth for a short stay in the Travel
lodge on Westcliffe in Bournemouth , it was in
a great position on the cliff tops, it was nice to walk down to the pier etc,
even though there was a chilly NW wind. It was also our eldest sons 37th
birthday!! As he lives near Wimborne, we were able to celebrate by meeting him
and his wife and M in Law for a Mexican meal, a pleasant evening was had by
all, even if we ate too much. Friday was a beautiful day once again; a lovely
day spent round Bournemouth and a visit to Christchurch
If I can
run today it will be 24 miles running this week but only 40 miles cycled – I
need to try to keep up the miles and increase over the next couple of weeks,
hamstring still niggles though.
Another
very cold day and the boiler once again seems to be about to cause problems,
not keeping its pressure and I seem unable to top it up, hey, ho! Just when the
weather is freezing, I have to hope I can keep it going until it warms up and
get a plumber out!
