A busy day and lots to get done, including a couple of hours work in the office. But I make it out on my bike for an hour or so, about 20 miles to Sadgill and back, out and back, along one of my favourite valleys.

GPS Training & Grasmere Run - Saturday 18th February 2017
If I enter a certain race I will need to know how to use a GPS, so I book myself on a course at Mungrisdale village hall. A good course.
Had intended to run from here straight after, but complication that I need to head back into Keswick for some shopping. Head back but manage to motivate myself for a run.....albeit in the dark and wet. Head out for Grasmere, along the Coffin trail to Rydal and then back around Rydal and Grasmere Waters. Out for about an hour and pleased that I made the effort.
London - Thursday 16th & Friday 17th February 2017
All work and no time to play. But at least I get to spend time in our new offices in Finsbury Circus, fantastic and great attention to detail. Will need to find some City run routes - Bryn will be my man for this.
Training - Wednesday 15th February 2017
Back to training, a good session on a steep hill close to the golf course. Thanks Bill.
Circuits & Pilates - Tuesday 14th February 2017
I overheard someone say it is Valentine's Day today - is it ?!
Head to circuits at lunch and Pilates in the evening - punishing and rewarding at the same time. Oh, and I get a Valentine's hug from Rebecca, at last my day has improved.
Rest day - 13th February 2017
Back to work today and a lot of catching up to do; feel tired in the evening so pass on a run.
I' m back, trail run from Skelwith Bridge - Sunday 12th February 2017
I was late home and even later to be once I had unpacked and got myself sorted. Up and ready early, could have had a lie-in but communication is not everyone's strong point.
Head out with KA, park at Skelwith and run to Elterwater, part way down Langdale and then up and over to Grasmere. Stop for hot chocolate, the back along the coffin trail to Ambleside and up and over to Skelwith. About 20k......you can tell I've been on the continent :-)
Lanzarote & Fuerteventura - Saturday 4th - Saturday 11th February 2017
So I head to warmer climes and some much needed peace. A great week road biking on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura: warm weather, smooth roads, considerate drivers, good company and plenty of coffee (leche leche's) and cake - livin the dream :-)
Strava shows it all in detail: some long tough days and high speed descents (and occasional not so high speed descents into a headwind !!), plenty of climb too.

Circuits - Friday 3rd February 2017
Wowza, that was a tough session, actually the toughest so far - I'm broken and need a holiday :-)

Scar Run - Thursday 2nd February 2017
Head to Scar with CS and each of us carry packs containing 5kg of sugar ! It proves a point, it's hard work and hardly surprising that my running has been so crap for so long, that's what I've been carrying excess on my body these last couple of years. Time to get serious !!
Swim and Training - Wednesday 1st February 2017
First time this year I get to the pool for a lunchtime swim.
Then in the evening to training; 8 hard reps towards golf course, a good session.
