Not a bad little ride out today as we were a bit pushed for time. We did stop for a little refreshment at Le Pont de la Tour though…

Woolwich Sunday 32km Cycle Ride
A bit of a different route here having to be diverted out to the Blackwell Tunnel Southern Approach due to all the residential development there. The usual break for alcohol and snacks at Zizzi’s Canary Wharf in the sunshine.
Sunday Cycle 17.3km
First part of our cycle ride. Stopped at Zizzi for alcohol and my watch decided to turn itself off.
…and it’s time for the cobblestones…
MK Half Marathon 2017
Three medals for the price of two: MK Half-Marathon 2017, MK Rocket 5K and the 2 Day MK Challenge. Official chip time was 2:48:07. Nowhere near my PB: that’s a result of a lack of training.
MK Rocket 5K
Preparation for tomorrow’s MK Half Marathon.
Week 17 Day 5 Walk to Work; Run Home
Still hard work, but I wanted to get another 5k in before this weekend’s half-marathon. Weight loss since 10 April is 5lbs.
Week 17 Day 2 Walk to Work; Run Home
Back to running after almost 6 weeks’ break on a cold and windy evening, so very difficult and slow. Not exactly confidence-inspiring for the half-marathon this weekend…
Week 11 Day 2 Walk to Work; Run Home
Second opportunity this week to walk to work and run home. Still finding it hard work though. Maybe next week? Weight loss of 1lb, though, since Monday.
Week 11 Day 1 Run Commute
So after an eight week lay-off – other than walking to and from work when I can – it was back into my evening run home. What rapidly became clear was a) how my fitness has declined in that time, and hence b) how running the Paris Marathon in less than four weeks would be foolhardy: I’d have done even less preparation than I had when I ran the Berlin Marathon and that was bad enough. So it’s the MK Half Marathon in May and a couple of 10k races and back into the ballot for London and/or Paris 2018. Oh and I’ve gained 1lb in the same eight weeks…
