AFC WIMBLEDON

Not much training this weekend as Jo and I went to Manchester to see the blue square premier play off final, between Luton and AFC Wimbledon. My Mum and Dad plus Angela (my sister in-law) were there too. AFC Wimbledon won 4-3 on penalties. My Brother (Ian) and I were there at the start 9 years ago, when AFC Wimbledon formed, so to see them enter the football league, was an emotional experience.

Not long to LEJOG

Have started long bike rides, 74 miles last weekend and 94 this weekend, I have cycled to my placement a few times, which is 26 miles a day. I went swimming this morning, but in general my training has been limited at best, I am finding my placement hard and been a bit down recently, which makes motoivtion to get out and do exercise difficult to come by.

On the positive side AFC Wimbledon are in the Blue square premier play off final against Luton on the 21st May at the city of Manchester stadium, Ian would have been so excited, looking forward to going to match with Jo, my Mum and Dad and Angela my sister-in-law. 

Training up-date 1/5/11

I have not been able to do much training recently and it looks like, I will struggle in the near future too, I have loads of uni work to do :-( I did manage to get my first open water swim of the year on Sunday 30th April, in the lido pictured above, it is a sectioned off bit in London's Hyde Park, Serpentine lake. It was weird swimming in central London, but a great experience
