Well , they reeled me and I agreed to jump on board with this little venture. And being the type of person that thinks "if you're gonna do something, do it properly!" I decided that training would start this weekend.
I turned down the offer of a train ride to York for a shopping trip, with lunch thrown in, in favour of a nice little bike ride in the glorious sunshine. 63 miles later... I have knees that don't move anymore, a tail bone that really doesn't know what the hell happened, and a rather severe case of sunburn!!!
Despite all that I did actually really enjoy being out there on the bike, but definitely need to plan ahead a bit more with things like suncream.
Having a rest day today, but once I get Sheffield Half Marathon out of the way next Sunday, I will be cranking up the training and increasing the number of times I go out on the bike. My biggest fear about this venture at the moment is that I will end up with the thighs of a Russian Shotputter!
Will keep you posted on Progress.
