Gym!

Getting the old bottom back in gear. I must say, remembering the password here was a major breakthrough!
So what's been going on? Lots of veg, obviously, with onions and chillies being top of the league table here at Veg/Nom Towers. And triathlon. Aaaah, triathlon.

Last year I enrolled on an adult education teaching course with blissful dreams of long summer holidays full of sunbeams and unicorn farts lighting my way. Of course something so wonderful obviously was not to be, so taking a year off triathlon ended with me instead taking on a similar job to the Corporal.

So this year. I did a swim analysis session with the Corporal last year which was a really positive experience (albeit terrifying!) for both of us! LBT coaches are fantastic, the club members are great and if there are actually any triathletes reading this, then the best thing that you can do it look at their website. No, really. They're not paying me. They're just brilliant. I'm loads faster this year in the water, thanks to the Corporal and LBT and am regularly swimming 2,000+m and not thinking much of it. Until I have to sit down to put on my socks.

Anyway, the short version is that I'm doing the Great North Swim this year, as my ambition is to get my head around open water swimming, which I freely admit, is freaky. We're signing up to Skipton as a relay team, I believe, and then I'm still trying to decide on Driffield, Beverley and Ilkley. I foresee many hills in my future. Sigh.

Forgot to mention that the reason for the post title was that Nom and I spent 1.5 hours in the gym today and did a 25 minute run (split into two, there and back again). I didn't die, despite Nom's best efforts!

Swim tomorrow. If I don't post, spare a thought for my poor arms and legs...
