Its been a long long time..

I've neglected my blog only after 4 months of posting....

Life just seems so busy lately.

Vicki is currently studying for her PGCE to be a secondary school science teacher so bless her she is working all the hours possible and even into the early hours to prepare her lesson plans and university work so I'm finding now that I am doing much much more house work and even learning to do new things such as cook :)

Which is all not a bad thing; I guess its about time I started to help out more and I now make a mean Vegetable Thai Green Curry.

So my days go like this:
  • Up at about 6am
  • Make everyone pack lunch
  • Check emails and do some work
  • 7:30am wake up Chloe and start getting ready for work / school
  • 8:30am Drop Chloe off at school / cycle 4 miles to work
  • 9-5pm @ work
  • 5pm 4 mile cycle home pickup Chloe
  • 6pm cook tea / tidy
  • 7:30pm more work
However the 7:30 pm onwards I'm quite zapped and have of lately been switching on the XBOX 360 and playing Call of Duty.

I've just signed up to do a triathlon for the 1st June my first ever, I figure it will be a perfect goal to increase my fitness I have noticed in the past my upper body strength is quite weak and I have always wanted to try out running.
The event begins with a 400m pool based swim in the Lutterworth Leisure Centre before heading out on a 1 lap 18km bike course. You then finish with a 1 lap 5km run to the finish line.
So lots of training ahead, Monday I actually ran 4 miles to work my first run since being at school and it went pretty well a combination of running and fast walking I made it to work in around 50 minutes, I'm just aching now and think perhaps for my first run I should have done less............
