All work

No time for training. Rest day. Sore left knee.

Piggin tired

Rest day. If chasing piglets, catching piglets and carrying piglets 100mtr is a rest. Probably unethical to do weight training with live animals. Sneaked a few bicep reps anyway. Sore left knee. Sore left calf. Lots of blood still.

Ride on

Pressed for time again but managed to do 20 minutes "research" into challenge I have set. Think it will be done a mid week in June 2013. Training was 10 miles on MuddyFox MTB road. Medium pace. Then slow, headwind, cheers. Left knee and calf sore. Lots of blood. Happy on bike, have raised saddle so legs almost straighten as I pedal, amazing how much difference almost setting bike up properly has on speed and effort required.
Might have found volunteer to help organise the fund raising side of it.

Flexibility

This is the challenge I have set myself. This is not as big a challenge as trying to get any form of discipline into training so flexibility is the key, just as well as midnight I was on the hill looking for a horse and instead of weight training today I was chasing pigs. Actual exercise done. Once circuit of the Bonsai Mountain. Slow anticlockwise in the dark. 5 miles on R200 road bike. Medium pace. Rain. 5 miles on MuddyFox mountain bike road. Rain. Slow pace. Left knee really sore. And bleeding.

I cant stand up for falling down

 The plan to ease myself into training hasn't really worked this week so I am in two minds about it, one is delay starting but that's for wimps, the other is the in at the deep end approach so, provided I get time to clear out the workshop tomorrow and uncover the weights bench and then carry the rowing machine in which at present is dumped unceremoniously on top of bags of straw under the eaves of the stable into the newly created floor space, then I shall start the core training plan that he who cannot be named has sent me.

Meanwhile, due to more pressing matters like family life and smallholding I only had time to take a "quick" trip anticlockwise around the bonsai mountain. I probably spent more time getting ready than actually doing but I was pleased with the end result which was a full circuit in 23 mins a personal best. This despite falling over 3 times, due to the incredible rainfall turning the slopes into mud slides, the third time giving me a very warry cut on my left knee. The sore one. Its still sore.

Trapped

Rest day. Trapped in car for 270 miles. Sore left knee.
