    finally made it out on the bike for a swift 16 mile evening ride. So much for my friend having some health issues and taking it slowly!!! My legs were burning!!! Nice to get out though.

    Cycling - 26/80 miles -
    Walking - 51/50 miles - smashed my walking target although to be fair many of those miles are to do with the plethora of dance classes I've been doing!!!
    Swim - 0/100 laps
    Lindy Hop class - 12/4 times

    Total mileage - 77/130 miles

    eleven days to go in August - not that optimistic that can fit in enough rides to fulfil my bike riding target, especially as there are thunderstorms predicted at the weekend. I suppose the worst case scenario is I thrash them out in the gym but it's so BORING!!!

    @girlinahat- nice ride, three more of those kinda of rides and you'll be right there. I got to get back on it. Been so busy it's been a week since I been on the bike. That's very unusal but got to get the mind set to do it. Congrats on the walk/dance goal!

    Still plodding along despite being insanely busy. Whose idea was it to return to university while working full time, again??

    However, spring break starts the end of this week, so hopefully the intensity will ease up a little bit then.

    And today is my husband's and my anniversary. :) 7 years! We met on a cycling event in France 12 years ago.

    nothing more to add for me (hangs head in shame :( ) except to say EXCELLENT WORK everyone else. Good to see you back on the bike @SteveCro, good to see someone else does non-tracked workouts and doesn't worry about it too @homemademama!!

    great work @Machka9 and hope you celebrated your anniversary!!

    Everyone else - keep going and keep making me feel guilty about a poor showing!! (I don't, so there - work is too hectic for me to think). It's raining here fairly constantly so I don't see me hitting the bike target, although the weekend needs to see me go on a blackberry hunt so you never know!!!

    vanilla ice cream for definite. or maybe when I get round to making gooseberry and elderflower ice cream I'll have some of that. (Is a discussion on ice cream allowed on this board? ;) )

    not an architectural engineer, I fix old things. Sculptures, historic plaster ceilings, architectural ceramics that sort of thing. We do the sort of stuff that scares the average builder silly. Mostly I sit in an office and juggle people and logistics around, occasionally I get to climb tall buildings and crawl around in roof spaces. :)
