Cold gone back to running ! No cycling, again Monday 20th November

 Started last week with the horrendous head cold and cough making it difficult to run or cycle so no activity ! A trip to Clarke’s village on Saturday with MrsB and daughter to buy Mrs B a new coat.

Early in the week we were hit by another flooded garden, I managed to pump out some and we used a submersible pump on next doors garden, but the heavy rain meant too much to shift, the good news is it’s still only a very soggy garden .

Friday weather was slightly better so trainers on and a first run out for 21/2 weeks! 3.54 miles down the sea front, felt ok, did stretches, but! Legs a bit stiff Saturday , Sunday a short 2.5 miles at a good 10:43 pace, the fastest for  a year! Another early werly run with Jayne on Monday 3.01 miles so my Grizzly training has started 🤞🤞 weather has been poor, too wet, too windy ……… so no cycling, haven’t got the motivation to get my bike dirty. 

Diet going well, no cake or biscuits, down to 12 st 5lbs that’s 9 lbs off 😊 noticed my VO2 max is only 44 down from 50 in 2020 ! Rest HR is 59 lowest was 54 in 2020 interesting stats. 

So another slow week, roll on spring and summer , only a month till the shortest day.
