This morning when I woke up I was disappointed that the weather forecast had got it wrong - again! Instead of the cloudy day I was expecting we had rain!
I am a total fair weather cyclist as wet roads scare me, so I changed my plans! Instead of going for a bike ride I headed to the swimming pool!
I was expecting there to be hoardes there on a wet morning in the Easter Holidays! The main pool was very very busy but luckily for me there was only one other person in the lanes so I had a really good swim apart from my goggles not playing nicely! Initially they kept steaming up and then they started leaking so I spend most of my time frantically adjusting them at the end of each length!
I did my standard 1700 metres in 38 minutes 8 seconds then I continued swimming until I had done a hour! Altogether I swam 2700 metres (1.68 miles) which is the furthest I have swum in a while!
Time to work more on increasing my speed now!
This evening it was my "Women on the Run" Running group. With it being the Easter Holidays I was expecting it to be a quiet one as everyone is so busy with other things! However, I was surprised when 15 ladies turned up ready to run and thankfully the rain had stopped!
We had a great 5 mile run at an average 10.12 minute mile pace! I can't believe how much faster they are getting in such a short time!
I am very proud of them all!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
