"like minded folk"... are you a bit of a nutter then Amy?
Chris - LOL at being wolf whistled. Thanks for the stuff on the editing software - looks good, tempted to get my wallet out. It looks similar (but better) to the free software that you get with the gopro camera. The music link is ace. That's helped me out enormously, thanks.
Well I was going to go out after work, but as more and more people came and disturbed me in the office it got later and later and the rain got heavier so I came home and had a lovely glass of single malt!
haven't been outside yet, OH told me to have a lie in - 8:30 was the latest I could manage to stay in bed but after a rubbish week I needed it
Gobi - bad news about the half
dry and windy here at the moment. We are starting to get pretty flooded round here now, but to be fair I think this area of the country hasn't had it nearly as bad as other areas, and in my town they had spent time digging the ditches and making sure the rivers and dykes were cleared out - I think that it is just householders getting together to do that rather than the council though - last summer lots of people had property damaged by flooding because the rivers and dykes were all choked up with rubbish and debris, although I think the trent has burst it banks and the road to the next town will soon be closed
will be swimming later and I need to get some kind of bike/turbo session done
kids staying at in-laws so we are going for a quiet meal
Day off to give the legs a rest before the Punchbowl Marathon. More rain here now after a dry start and gales later so will be dodging floods and fallen trees tomorrow!
Morning all - run, swim, spin done, T25 and hot yoga later. It looks like I'm headed down to Brighton to run a marathon tomorrow, not an official one but one of my tri research group is running one a month for charity so I thought I'd lend some support. If I don't get blown away to sea. MC our town is still flooded, the river burst it's banks on Christmas Day and continues to do so, pretty miserable for those folks living nearby with many evacuated. The perks of living on a hill for me, much as I complain when I cycle up it. So Emmy will be on her way to marathon 3 of 4 this morning, very impressive.
we went out for dinner last night, had a nice meal, seneible bed time, but then I spent half the night awake thinking about work so with no kids here didn't get up and rush out, think I might do my long run tomorrow and just get a turbo session in later then swimming tonight. Need to have a good stretch and foam roller as I can feel my IT Band is very tight
Afternoon all - end of a hard week's training, T25, 2 hour turbo and 2 hour run, done in. Good luck to Chris and PSC who will already be up to their eyes in mud at the Punchbowl. 12 OR this morning, and one pogo stick hanging from a tree. Gobi, is the Omnium the one with a little fella on a moped in front of you, that would be ace. Watched some Sochi last night, the mogul skiing made my knees twinge to watch it. More yoga later, did a hot class last night which was my first, and hardest, in a while.
Punchbowl was a hoot. Yes, a bit muddy in parts. Standing water was more of the problem and tree roots as it turned out for my poor OH who went flying at one point. Comedy moment when some poor lady got stuck on barbed wire trying to avoid a long stretch of deep water and without thinking I stopped to help her out. It was only as I was manhandling her Lycra from behind that I realised I was perilously close to a sexual assault charge. Luckily her husband was grateful that I freed her from the wire and probably didn't realise that I had been plucking barbed wire out of his wife's nether regions. Oops. Perhaps I shouldn't be so keen to help everyone.
