Weekly round up and a new bike

Morning, hope it finds you well and not iced up as here! So my week in exercise then......Well it didn't really start well with a lazy Monday. I guess I was a little tired after the trip to the gym on Sunday (well at least that's what I am saying eh!) Tuesday I had to go down t'south on business so rather than taking the car to the station, I set off to walk the 1.6 miles at 6.10am. A nice walk at that time but a word for "cyclists" out there (more likely POBSO...persons on bike shaped objects) GET SOME FUNKING LIGHTS and get off the pavement!!!! So irritates me that. Come on people, the roads of Stafford are not busy at 6.10am and lights cost almost nothing now days. Grrr. Anyway, in total I walked 3.5miles all day including getting very wet walking from the station to the bureau due to a hail storm! Wednesday and Thursday were also lazy days: well I was tired from the trip down south. However, come Friday I was ready to go and off to the pool I went for a 1250m swim. Pleased but rather sore with that. My time for the distance at 1hr 2mins won’t set the world alight but hey ho, at least I proved to myself that I can swim over 1km during a lunchtime session. Saturday saw me out on Boris for the first time in ages and what’s more, rather than heading out in the car to Haughton, I cycled out from the front door! I think I had lost my mojo about cycling for a bit but 20.7 miles in 1 hour 48 including 5, yes FIVE top three Strava PB’s for me (okay 4 third places and one second place) shows losing weight and doing some exercise does help. Talking about losing weight, according to the scales I am down to 121.4kg this morning….. lets see if the reading stays in the same area as if it does, then that’s nearly 2lb off this week (since Wednesday) already. Ah the new bike….finally brought myself a CX bike: a Ridley XBow. Well it was nearly half price in the Wiggle sale and has 105 bits on it. Nice it is although I worry it might be slightly too long for me. Nevermind eh, I can always get a new stem if it is. Right, me over. Laters.
