So, yes, this year has been a sluggish start to be honest. Through a combination of a crazy start to the year at work and the on-going hip pain, exercise has been a little lower down the list of the things I’ve been doing (not that the list has more exciting things on it or anything).
Last weekend was a complete blowout as I ended up working late into the night, hence was shattered the next day and decided it wouldn’t be best to try and make things worse by going out early. This week has started with some glimpses of good things tot come however.
Finally found the new 50m olympic pool in Leeds so went and swum there, my first swim for well over 6 months. Went for a short sharp run on Tuesday morning and went and saw an osteopath on Wednesday to sort out my hip, and as it happens, my back too. Apparently it’s an ITB thing… classic overuse. Those bloody marathons have destroyed my body!
The start to this year is going to be a switch back to the cross-training that I was doing at one point while training for triathlons. Lots of cycling this weekend, with a potential start of doing core strength exercises.
Generally, I’m rubbish at that. I can never find the enthusiasm for doing stationary things in the house so I will persevere and get on with it this evening after a small spinning session. Must… do…. something….
And still mulling about entering the London triathlon seeing as I missed it last year. Not worried about training (as that would be a good driver). It’s more the having to get to London from France to do it in the beginning of August. I could always step up to the plate and do the 70.3….
