She's back

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:19:00 +0100

I've been off for a while - other events took over. Now on a short timeline to holiday and it'll be August before you know it!Went for a run on Wednesday evening, late on at half eight. Time was 34:35, so pretty rubbish but it was quite warm and my chest is still quite tight. Better luck next time eh?

Not so good at this it would seem

Been very busy recently, although it doesn't necessarily show below!

June targets:

5 climbing session: Fewer planned for June due to high numbers of other things. Done 1.

4 running sessions: More motivated for this now that I've done the first one with M. Done none! Hayfever has kicked in, but that's no excuse really.

Cycling: Must go at least once! Done none!

Crafty projects: Cardigan and scorpion. Nope!

Home & Garden: Veggies in and going, and bedroom... details to be confirmed. Well, veggies are in and growing away, clematis is down and dying, lots more tidying (both inside and out) to do...

Its results time for May...

Been on holiday, had a fab time, really enjoyed the break. Now it's time to assess for May and at least partially begin to plan June. June! Gulp.

May targets:

10 climbing session - 9 climbs done (17/50), including Sheeps Tor. Ace,

4 running sessions - haha 1 done, achieved 31:00 target time.

Go cycling - gah, still not managed this either!

Crafty projects - Achieved challenge photos and card for Valerie. Failed on cardigan and scorpion though.

Finish shed and clear up junk - Shed door is hung and tip permit obtained. No latch on door, and not used permit yet, so we'll call it half done.

Plus...

Exchange old Moto for new one - Done and very pleased.

Total score: 90% + 25% + 0% + 50% + 50% + 100% / 6 = 52.5%. Not such a good score, but I still feel I made some good progress. So .

Today's the big day, going up after work to pick up my new precious... wheeeee!

May targets:

10 climbing session - 8 climbs done (17/50). Climbed again on Tuesday, really enjoyed a new long turquoise route, nice and juggy all the way to the top.

4 running sessions - run target time = 31:00, achieved 31:00. Next run target = 30:00. Tried to go for a run last night, but got strange pains in my knee, so I left it.

Go cycling - gah, still not managed this either!

Crafty projects - For May, make albums of challenge photos, finish scorpion and finish cardigan. Albums are done, but Valeries card keeps falling to pieces Grrrr

Finish shed and clear up junk - Shed door is now hung! Only a lock or latch is required and then it's complete... I am now in possession of a permit for the tip, so next steps is to load up the van and get over there.

Plus...

Exchange old Moto for new one - Hooray hooray, collect today!

3 more sleeps...

Mon, 24 May 2010 12:57:00 +0100

Whheeeee, it's getting close now!

May targets:

10 climbing session - 7 climbs done (16/50). eeek - had a bit of a useless week last week and only went at the weekend (outside though, so maybe that's worth double?) Got lots to do this week too, so I'm going to struggle to squeeze 3 in. 2 might be achievable, but 3 is very unlikely.

4 running sessions - run target time = 31:00, achieved 31:00. Next run target = 30:00!! Hmm, still only one of four so far, and not many days left. I will do at least one more.

Go cycling - gah, still not managed this either!

Crafty projects - For May, make albums of challenge photos, finish scorpion and finish cardigan. Right, I need to fix Valeries card which fell to pieces, and then get on with cardigan at least.

Plus...

Exchange old Moto for new one - All lined up to collect on Thursday, just need to tidy up the GPz...

Only 8 more sleeps to go....

Wed, 19 May 2010 12:56:00 +0100

May targets:

10 climbing session - 6 climbs done (16/50). 4 more to do, 2 this week, 2 next week. Perfectly achieveable.

4 running sessions - run target time = 31:00, achieved 31:00. Next run target = 30:00!! Hmm, only one of four so far, need to squash 3 more in...

Go cycling - gah, still not managed this either!

Crafty projects - For May, make albums of challenge photos, finish scorpion and finish cardigan. Albums are completed - just in time for the weekend. Which means next weeK I can start on the other two (after I've unpacked everything from Malvern of course... which may take some time.... ) Plus, just realised V's birthday is coming up so I need to make a card for her too!

Plus...

Exchange old Moto for new one - WHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Bike is ordered. Part Ex the old un so don't even have to worry about selling that. Should be able to collect on Thursday. YIPPIEE!

Back to work for a rest

Wowzers what a busy weekend. Not the relaxing catchback on sleep that I fancied, but fun-filled action-packed instead. Ace. As Frank T says, sleep is for the weak.

May targets:

10 climbing session - 6 climbs done (16/50). 4 more to do, 2 this week, 2 next week. Perfectly achieveable.

4 running sessions - run target time = 31:00, achieved 31:00. Next run target = 30:00!! Hmm, only one of four so far, need to squash 3 more in...

Go cycling - gah, still not managed this either!

Plus...

Exchange old Moto for new one - Oh so much to do.

Well, it started well, but my mid month assessment isn't looking too great - there's still a lot to do on there.

TFI Friday

Fri, 14 May 2010 12:58:00 +0100

Oh Friday, where have you been hiding? It seems so long since you were here last, I was aching to see you again. And now you're here, but soon you'll be gone. Still, you'll be back, you'll be back.

May targets:

10 climbing session - 5 climbs done (16/50).

4 running sessions - run target time = 31:00, achieved 31:00. Next run target = 30:00!!

Go cycling - since I spent so long cleaning up the chain, I should actually use my bike.

Plus...

Exchange old Moto for new one - Haha - tried to take GPz for MOT, had great fun riding him, until he spat oil out all over the engine, footpeg, rear tyre... Back in the garage, new filter and more oil required, then we'll try again. At least now I believe I can ride a bike again, so I can get on and book a test ride without being quite so scared.

Mon, 10 May 2010 13:00:00 +0100

of very sleepy.

Though maybe not as sleepy as Mr D a.k.a. Mr flopsy.

May targets:

10 climbing session - 4 climbs done (15/50). Didn't try the grey route, instead I eventually scrabbled my way up the brown flake route that beat me before. Next time I'll try it a bit more cleanly.

4 running sessions - run target time = 31:00, achieved 31:00.

mile 1 = 09:36

mile 2 = 10:56 (20:32)

mile 3 = 10:28 (31:00)

Next run target = 30:00!!
