Debating weather this should be in next week but id forget by then..

Sunday run was as follows  95.64kms (i do it KMs as it seems further ;).  3hrs 45 mins at avg speed of 23.8kms/hr, max 60.1kms.  Total height climbed  1117M (Kinglassie hill, Lomond Hills, GlenTarkie, hill at Arberargie. couldnt quiet summon up spirit for Cliesh even tho i felt ok.

This cycling lark is pi** easy... ;)

Disaster for Scotland

Yes as good old Arthur Montford (t?) would say it was disaster for scotland when i stepped on the scales.... I knew i had been over doing it but 15st 3lbs was a shock to the system. I was 13.1 earlier this year! Still a good shock and now back on the diet that was soo sucessful in the early part of 2007.

Cycling notes .....
not out at weekend howling gales in East coast!
1 turbo session of 35mins nothing write home about.
Bought mudguards and battary lights for winter commute bike (SCOTT CYCLECORSS SERIES)
Bought new jacket (Red with fluoresant?) parts.

Commuteing tomorrow by bike so chalkup 36 miles (18miles return).

30mins later

All done........ funny how sometimes 30mins on the turbo seems like 3hrs. Nevermind Letour route announced tomorrow!

So its all Lance's fault really

Turbo training session no 2 (i did an hour last night but thats before i started this thing!!). About to do a more humble 30mins.

List of lance goodies number 1: Oakley Glasses with his signature of course ..110quid!

Its my birthday on monday 27th , i aim to wiegh myself then. I reckon im pushing upto 15st (again how sad!), race target is 13st. I was 13st 1 earlier this year and did the race in 2007 at 13.4lbs and this year ay 13st 7lb.

Anyhow off to spin.!!! now where is that Lance 7in a row dvd..

Starter for 10

Ok i admit it Im hooked ...So I did it in 2007 (10hrs 55mins), then again this year (9hrs 55mins), so i thought I'd have another go and try for a blessed gold medal .. target ride time of 9hrs 15mins (for us 40somethings!

Here I aim to record training blog, runs, weight(loss i hope!), technical issues, travel issues, convincing the wife issues, combing with LeTour / Lance watching issues.
