What a week .......

This weeks Lejog Training RECIPE

4 hours in the gym
10 hours on the saddle
3 great bike rides
16 hills
An abundance of highland cows
The odd frog (apparently)
Plenty of sunshine
Far to many jelly babies
And one hundred and thirty two point six eight miles
If you didn't catch that, i said 132.68 miles

Mix together over one week and you get one big smile from me ;-))))

Ride two of the week....

Ullapool - Tore - Munlochy - Killen - Rosemarkie - Fortrose - Avoch - 66.85 miles

Definitely the most enjoyable ride yet,  Richard and i rode in beautiful sunshine most of the way from Ullapool to Avoch on fab quiet (ish) roads. As the miles clocked up the weather got better. We spent most of the ride chit chatting about nothing imparticular just cruising along enjoying the weather and the scenery, we made a couple of stops, one at Tarvie to say hi to Rich's neighbour and then again just down the road at Roggie Falls for a picnic lunch. Isn't life hard ;-)

As we cycled back towards Dingwall we both felt just dandy and climbed the hill to Tore like pro's ;-) (you can tell i'm feeling pretty chuffed with myself this week ) To make up the miles we did a quick mini loop in the Black Isle and arrived back in Avoch clocking up just over 65 miles. I went to bed that night tired but happy.

Ride No 3

Avoch - Culloden - Cawdor - Nairn - 29 miles


I decided not to run the Nairn 10k today but instead cycled to meet everyone who was ...........A huge well done to Mark, Richard and Christina, i'm so proud of you all. Great times, great effort.

So Speedy..... was it wise to cycle 66 miles the day before a 10k ?? at 39 mins i don't think it did you any harm ;-)) Maybe we should make it 96 next time, perhaps you'll run even faster .....


So with our first 100 mile ride in sight, i end this week feeling positive, energised but ready for a long bubble bath and a large glass of wine.
