Summer Walks and Runs

So lovely with the good weather so we can really get out and about when we want to and make the most of it.!! Time has been limited for me this last couple of weeks. Once the school holidays set in my training plan went awol..... although my two are teenagers the taxi service does not stop and I like to keep them busy with their sport. Danielle is working for four weeks helping with the tennis camps at Shenley. Ben is booked into a couple of tournaments so that's good.

I have another challenge... finding a new job and that is proving more of a mountain than I expected.... another story !!

However.... the heart rate monitor has arrived and I am interestingly monitoring my heart rate while exercising. It seems I have to slow my pace when running... this works better for me. I have an underactive thyroid condition which means if I push the running pace up too much my energy levels are badly affected and it puts me out of exercise for a good few days.

Off to walk the hounds now.... Ben is helping me today... we have Bernie, Woody and Star to walk for one hour. Thats sixteen legs to trot round the lakes... glad the rain has passed over from yesterday.

  1. Arrive home from Portugal in a few days - then the training starts in earnest. Gulp !
