Sunday Restart

I hate red eye flights from the US - but they do serve a purpose. You get a whole day in the US, and then arrive back in the UK the next morning - clever use of time. However it does mean you do miss out on a load of sleep.

So I slept for 12 hours straight last night, no waking/tossing & turning, just straight 12 hours of solid sleep. Amazing. So with that under the belt - it was time to get back into exercise

Stratford to Stratford Cycle Challenge

Over the weekend, I cycled from Stratford in London, to Stratford-upon-avon in the midlands. Approx 60 miles a day (with detours), it was a fun way to get out on my bike.

Both my phone and GPS watch proved to have limited battery life (I could have charged the watch overnight, but forgot too.. and the phone was never going to last on GPS for the period of time we were out..) - so you'll have to make do with what the route was MEANT to be! We ended up doing 123 miles in approx 9 hours (cycling time, not inc. breaks/lunches).

I have been resting since, and plan to go to the gym later today and run tomorrow.

Day 1 (Saturday 29th)



Day 2 (Sunday 30th)
