At the moment I'm plodding along with some steady training running wise but the weekly gym session is still going from strength to strength excuse the pun. The only problem I have with the gym at the moment is the new ability to lift two to three times more than I did last year before the Gladiators audition so now it takes a lot longer than before. The 50 minutes has now become 1 hour and 10 minutes and that's with missing one of the machines out each week.
On the diet side I have enjoyed eating quite a lot of rubbish and downing a few beers over the last few weeks and so far I have only put on a pound in weight. Now is a good time to get back to eating a bit more sensibly I think before I end up with the same problem as last year with having too much weight to loose, trying to loose weight and training hard don't really mix as I become very weak and tired on reduced rations.
Now the sun has come back out I might just be able to squeeze my yearly bike ride in with the bike club before my summer holiday, I don't want to sound greedy but two days without rain would be a nice change.
After reading about global warming I am now doing my best to get the planet warmed up. I'm spraying as many aerosols as I can get my hands on and have installed 500 watt lamps through out the house to try and get my carbon foot print to the max. I have wondered if there was global cooling would they advise everybody to do the same as me and try and warm the planet up a bit.
I'm going to take a day off in September to watch a stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race. It would be good to see a running equivalent on a big scale, five days of racing should do it. Day 1 - 5km time trial. Day 2 - 1/2 Marathon. Day 3 - 3km race. Day 4 - 10 mile race . Day 5 - 10k race.
With people going for daily victories and other top runners trying to save themselves for the overall classification. That's the problem with not training enough I start to think too much.
