Training Review - Week 1 - Jan 1 to 4

Only half a week to start this year. Very easy first day with Dexter and a jog to first foot my granny. 

Friday I got up and went for another run with Dexter. I was meant to be doing reps but between the ice and the dog I decided it was safer just to get some basic miles in. Dexter was being a pain and dragging behind so the pace was terrible. By the time I got back my back and hip were aching so I did 20 mins of yoga. 

Saturday I decided to kick off my swimming year and to get ahead of my targets for week 1. I went to the pool and just coasted through a 1-mile steady swim. In the evening I did both my weights and core sessions. 


Sunday some of the sunday ride group decided to go out for about 40 miles but I wimped out of riding on the icy roads and went to the gym to sit on the exercise bike instead. Nearly two hours was very dull but did get me my bike miles for the week. 

So all in all it has been a good start to 2015. Ahead of all my targets. But that is easy to do in half a week which is all holidays. Let us see how it goes from next week.
