Time wasting!

Many hours of Internet searching and becoming completely confused!

I have finally decided and purchased a new phone!

How baffled and indecisive can a girl be!

Such Good Intentions!

That pretty much sums up my blog updates of late. I'd like to say that i've been super busy training. But i haven't, i've been a bit under the weather, with some sinus problems and a bit of a chest infection, so have eased back on the training. Now getting back in the swing! Biking and running well but swimming feels much harder work than normal, that will be the weights sessions i've just started. My arms feel more like rocks in the water than usual :-)

Managed to drag Simon - out on a evening to Lewes firworks (rarely happens on a schoolnight!) - complete with Hog Roast in a bun and sparklers. Had fun but very cold and squished in the crowds, remember why i hadn't been since 5 years before.

Recieved some lovely new Zoot winter kit - thats not to say i'm likely the wet and windy weather we have a present, its just a bit more bareable. Also managed to get myself a pair of Zoot Ultra Speed Trainers (2010 super light race shoe) - Will be looking forward to my next interval session to try them out, i think not.

I'm setting myself a challenge for the next month, to post a blog once a week.

Beachy Head Marathon.

Yesterday was the Beachy Head Marathon. Described as the toughest uk marathon, taking place on the sussex downs, starting and finishing in Eastbourne. Knowing quite a few runners, I thought I'd do my weekend bike ride and do some supporting at the same time. On hearing the weather forecast I had second thoughts, but stuck to by promise and headed out for a ride - jersey pockets stuffed with gels. Managed to watch the start, you couldn't even see the top of the first hill for the mist.

Unfortunately I only take a few pictures, the weather was rubbish (very wet and misty) and I was getting cold every time i stopped.

Completely managed to miss Helyn, (King of the mountains) at all but the junction with the road 5 mins in!

Last year having watched i fancied entering. This year watching - not a chance! but having said that never say never, if Kona doesn't happen i might be looking for a back up.

Photo update of our van conversion

Update on the progress so far! We still have lots to do. Next job is the celling vent and then we can line and insulate the roof.

Simon has made the sink unit it will go under the window.

There will be storage along the rest of the wall.

Looking foward we need to get proper foam cut for the bed cut to size and covers made, but for our trip away in the summer we just had a matteress topper, cut and stiched by me (surprising my blanket stitch! is still holding it together)

View of the back, our bikes go along the back, they fit perfectly with wheels in and rest up againist the wooden frame, between that and the doors.

Simon selected the curtain material - Buzz Lightyear

Our benches, which are storage boxes ( i like storage) and fold out to be a platform for the bed

Were thinking we might stay in the van after fireworks night, but might chicken out especially as the roof is unlikely to be finished my then :-(
