February 2015 - 5 months to go!

Ruby has at last hit the roads, the weather is steadily improving so she has had a couple of outings of 25-30 miles.  I have been running a lot as well and increasing my off road distance to prepare for the Highland Cross...this morning was 13 miles, although it wasn't a pleasant run today as I felt pretty dreadful throughout.

As for C2M prep, I have booked return flights from Nice and found a bike courier to get my bike south before the trip.

February has been a funny old month to be honest, I have been under the weather for a lot of it and have been pretty much doing two jobs as I have been covering in a Primary 2 class since 21st January (as well as trying to do my Depute Head job at the same time).  I'm not complaining as I have loved being class committed again, but I can't continue indefinitely as I am drowning in a sea of paperwork!!

I think a lot about this up coming trip and am really looking forward to cycling with friends old and new again.  Helen (from the LEJoG trip) is now coming as someone else has dropped out so there was a space.  It will be great to catch up with her too.

As March dawned this morning it really felt spring was in the air, it has been absolutely beautiful in Aberdeen today with warm sunshine and blue skies...really looking forward to increasing the bike distance again and throwing in a few ski centre cycles (although at the moment the ski centres nearby are still open and covered in snow).


Happy training :-)
