    Gonna see if I can check out your photos at home later. Will I be able to see them as not on facebook? Your holiday looked fabby!

    Snow was fun while it lasted. I even cycled Thursday. It was exciting stuff! We are all thawed bar some stray bits in Bristol today.

    I hope you recover soon from that chest infection, oof!

    Am concentrating on ma squats and strengthening lagging left shoulder for the next six to eight weeks. Unilateral dumbbell lifts are tiring!

    @nexangelus yeah it's a guest link so anyone can view it whether they have an account or not. Are you back into the swing of things on your cut?

    Yay! Thanks!

    Yes I think I am into the swing of it. Just sticking to 2050 per day now and carbing up Sundays at 2700. It sort of cuts down on the hunger. Feels more comfy than upping and downing. Weight loss on track.

    downhill is fun!
    I wheezed my way up a few hills like a flaily walrus this morning - then loped through the downhills and rid myself of stitch haha
    felt really good at end of the run too :D

    am jealous you can walk to work - I mean I could, but it is 7-8 miles each way and would take a couple of hours! I may run it when on longer runs during training - ooh idea......lol but how would I get home?....hmmmm

    Could you take your running stuff with you and take public transport or get a lift with someone else in and run home rather than running in?

    technically yes..........cost (£3) and time (1.5 hours) on public transport makes getting home a bit bleh - and no-one lives around my neck of the woods and finishes same time as me I don't think. I may ask round though. :)
    I may be able to wangle a lift from gf one day. But then there's the getting work clothes to work etc and I may just do long runs on a Sunday lol. Am not one for copious amounts of effort tbh. lol

    Still fighting off my cold but RHR is down on my Garmin, which I've learned is the trend as sickness is easing off. Just as well because I have rowing practice at 7am tomorrow. Going to have a bath and a super early night.

    Good Morning all, I am still a bit stuffy, but chest isn't hurting any more, did plenty of walking and a 10km row over the weekend, so starting to feel a bit back to myself.

    Stupid work internet won't let me view pics on the forum anymore so I will have to check the unicorn out on my phone later.

    Yeah it wasn't too bad, wasn't tired, so think will be ok for the race, more about getting used to the person setting the stroke. Can't speak for the rest of my team cos I've been out with the club and my team haven't been out as much because they all have family commitments.

    The race is 28km.
