After feeling like death warmed up last week I have made a complete recovery and have started back on the training plan. I haven't gone 'full steam ahead' though as I don't want to end up poorly sick again :( It was all about ensuring I did enough but had sufficient rest days.
This week
Monday - Running club
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Cycle 10 miles
Thursday - Cycle 10 mile, Run 5k
Friday - Cycle 10 miles, Pilates
This weekend I am going to my local parkrun and doing my 5k and on Sunday instead of participating in the Chilly Duathlon I will be heading out for a longer bike ride.
Cycling
Bike news! - I have ordered my new road bike through the cycle to work scheme so I should hopefully be getting it next week or the week after. I went for a test ride last night and it felt like I was flying around Bradley Stoke. I honest won't know what's hit me when I start to use it. Its so light!!

Swimming
I've taken the 'plunge' and signed up to my first swimming session with BADtri (Bristol based Triathlon club) next week. I have to be poolside at 6:30am(!!!) which is going to be a struggle considering I am usually still in bed at that time but we will see how it goes!
Running
I am really enjoying running club and had a great run on Monday night with the girls. We managed to do just under 4 miles and I didn't feel too knackered afterwards. I did the same route at lunch yesterday and it did feel a bit more of a struggle but I think that was lack of food more than anything!!
I've been informed about a training session for beginners to triathlon that TriGirl are running. I am unfortunately (or fortunately) on holiday at the time of my local event but thought I would share it here as it looks like a great day with lots of useful information.

Hope everyone has a fun and active weekend despite the chilly weather! Till next week x
