Tuesday speed session went OK - warm up, a few strides then 12 x 1min efforts in hideous weather - the meat feast pizza that followed made up for it though!

Wednesday - can’t remember what I did!!! Sign of age I guess but I think next year for the 1st time I’m going to keep a training diary.

Thursday - busy day - dog walk, bike to work, bike home, 1 hour hard with Harriers, walk dog - that’s not a bad day’s training is it - all fitted neatly around family and work.

Friday - nowt but 2 dog walks

Saturday - took the dog out then took my eldest son to cricket practise - he was training at Benton Park school with 3 Yorkshire team players. As a none crickiter myself I didn’t recognise their faces or names but they seemed like very nice chaps and Max really enjoyed it. Whilst he was playing I went for an hour on my singlespeed over Otley Chevin and found a bunch of trails in Chevin Forest Park - must explore further. On my way back I also found a really smart BMX track at Yeadon tarn - I had a quick ride round on my Kona MTB but oh to be 14 again on my Pirahna with Cro-mo aero forks and Skyway Tuff2 wheels (sorry just reminiscing for a sec).

This afternoon, the good lady and the kids have gone to the Cubs Gang Show - thankfully I got the job of looking after the dog so we went for a big walk over the moors. She loved it and must have done at least twice the distance I did so she’s now fast asleep - here’s a pic of KIMM on the wiley windy moors.

We’re going to an 80s night tonight - it’ll be either hillarious or dreadful - can’t decide which. Got my bleached 501s, denim jacket, white Tshirt and Ray-Bans at the ready - bring it on!!!
