Swam this morning for half an hour. Trying hard to go from lap to lap without any break - not working. I really need to relax my swimming and try to sort my breathing out. I am going to try hard to get to swim training this weekend.
Cycled hard to work. Plan to do cycle ride tomorrow morning. Not sure how far yet.
I want to keep a record of how my training is going and how I feel so that I can look back and see where I came from to get to where I am. I hope that when I start to get fit, it may be helpful for others in my starting position to see it can be done.

Day 85 - 15th of June 2009
Got up early, went for a swim. 50 meter pool. Managed around 1000 meters but only in 50 to 100 meter chunks! I need to work on breathing and what to do with my legs! I also need to try to get long slow stroken going and not try to go to fast. Cycled to work too quite hard and back. all in all a good day.

Day 82 - 12th of June 2009
Ok so I went a little over the top yesterday. I did 20 min of "fast as you can" running in the gym followed by 30 min of hard upper body training. Then I ran home in heavy rain leaving my bike at work...great idea and it felt great until I woke up with very sore legs and I had to run to work as my bike wasnt at home!! doh. Anyway the good news was that it wasnt just raining very heavy this morning it was also very windy...great! Now I feel like I have run a marathon. But I do feel good for doing it. I know I have to work on my running a little harder so this counts as a little harder.
I am still very angry that some scum bag now has my germin 305 sports watch! Those little babies are not cheap. Oh well, better spend more time at work :(
Will cycle home this eve. Day of rest tomorrow and then try to joing the cycle gang on Sunday for a quick 40K and a 5 k off the bike run.

Day 81 - 11th of June 2009
Cycled to work on my mtb quite fast. Going to run 11k home and then run back in tomorrow morning. I am also going to do some upper body weights.
I feel slightly unmotivated and I really need to get back into this as soon as I can. Will be looking for another heart rate watch :(

Day 81 - 10th of June 2009
Arrived back last night from a weekend away to find that my house has been burgled!! Lost everything including my new heart rate watch. Bit of a blow. Bikes are still in the garage though so got to take some positives from that I guess. Cycle to work and back as hard and aggresivly as I could just to vent some anger! low life scum.
