OK – so the past few months have been a little up and down as we’ve been doing IUI trying for a baby, unfortunately after a number of near misses we are still no closer. The upshot of doing the IUI is that I’ve been staying off the bike and not beasting myself with 14hours [...]
It’s been a while since my last post (appologies), i’ve been having a little break from the Intensive training – although still keeping things ticking over! Full training starts again soon – and what better way to kick start things than doing the Great South Run along with another 20,000 other people this Sunday (24/10/10) [...]
I have now raised my first £1000 (mostly for Rowcroft so far) – so a big thank you to anyone that donated and helped motivate me to train harder.

Rain!! Sideways rain, downwards rain, head on rain, upwards rain, 85miles of cycling in the rain!! The MET Office forecast was for “the weather will brighten up through the day with sunshine in the afternoon” and not “it will be a flood of biblical proportions”. Still we had a good ride despite being very wet [...]
Usual long ride on Sunday – this time taking the route over the top of Dartmoor past the Warren House Inn ( Teignmouth -> Kingsteignton -> Teign Valley -> Moretonhampstead -> Postbridge -> Asburton -> Newton Abbot -> home) We tackled the hill at Dartmeet again – I almost wiped out at the bottom when [...]
