In London again and it's an overnighter this time. Meeting a couple of friends tonight, the rule book may be open to levels of interpretation! On the plus side these trips always seem to fall on Tuesday's so I should be able to squeeze in my skips.
I went very hard in the gym last night in preparation for the busy Easter period, sets were squeezed to the max. I'm up to 5 sets of 7 pull ups now - unthinkable 9 weeks ago! I chucked in an extra bicep set that I missed on the weekend too. I know we're not supposed to sub sets in and out but there was more gas in the tank so I ploughed on. 5k on the treadmill in 21:47, a full minute off my last recorded attempt and probably a PB.
I did 12k on the road with Debs on Sat morning, half marathon prep is definitely picking up steam! She's been training for about 5 weeks now and is doing incredibly well. Just like my pull up progress, I think if you told her she'd be running 12k on a Saturday morning 6 weeks ago there may have been a look of disbelief so massive credit is due.
Played golf on Sunday with Nicky and the gang. Great day and I played as well as I ever have. Fact. I'm curious how much of this is down to my more athletic condition, core strength and flexibility or whether it's just because I've played a few times recently and didn't have a hangover!? We may never know...
