1. Took Simon (boyfriend) away for his birthday and for a break from craziness in the New Forest at the end of March. Rented a cabin for the long weekend. Did some good long rides, but the weather wasn't liking us - drowned rats one day and snowed on the next!
2. Discovered home shopping - I place my food shopping online and some lovely delivery man brings it right into the kitchen - bliss. My life's been made so much better by that alone.
3. Finished paying of Hawaii credit card bill - thank goodness! Only one more and student loan to go to be debt free!!!!
4. Only 3 weeks until for to King of the Mountains - for a week of cycling and catching up with Guy and Helyn. I'm hoping the cold white stuff is retreating.
5. Started racing again - did first time trial on Thursday - a 2 up with the boyfriend. Enjoyed the hurt!
6. I'm now running for 90 mins!!!!!! - Weymouth half ironman is looking likely!!
7. Found a local coffee roaster, which roasts your beans and then dispatches on the same day - for super fresh and delicious coffee beans - very important!
8. Went home for Easter weekend and caught up with the family. Had lunch with my younger brother, Jamie - had a good gossip and quizzed him about his new and first proper girlfriend. Also my other brother, Simon, his girlfriend Natasha is riding a cycle challenge for the stroke association in June. She hasn't ridden a bike for years - She rocks!
9. Discovered Gavin and Stacey on BBC i player - how have i missed this!
10. Learnt home to completely stripped and rebuild by road bike, when i had a spring clean. Now feel like i can call myself a proper bike rider. Actually I can probably do more repairs/fixes to my bike than most of the boy's i train with. Having said that i still prefer Simon to check over the gears.
Happy training
