Saturday 8th to the Friday 14th February 2014

Saturday 8th February

In Barcelona this morning.  It is great to wake up and there is no wind and rain, and the temperature was a tropical 14 degrees. John and I hit the road for 8am we did a 6.5miles, 3 miles up hill, and 3.5miles downhill.  A gentle incline and a nice handy decline.  What a way to see the city!  It appears to be a city where people like their running; every 100yards we were meeting others out running.  Good wide footpaths so plenty of room for everyone.  The only downside was there were so many traffics lights that we had to stop for, which kept interrupting our rhythm. Finished around 9am and ready for breakfast.

The beautiful streets we were running on.

Sunday 9th – Monday 10th February

I took these 2 days off to enjoy the sites of Barcelona, but with all the walking through the streets of Barcelona I was as tired as if I had a hard days training done.

Tuesday 11th February

I had intended to go to the gym for 7am, the alarm went off at 6.15am, but after the previous day travelling on planes and buses, I just couldn’t get my head off the pillow.  I hit the snooze button and eventually got out of bed at 7.30am and headed to the pool for a 30mins swim. 

After work, I headed to the gym. I did 40mins x-trainer, 20mins stepper and 25mins bike.  I also did 20mins core work. Then down to the pool for a 30mins swim. Home for 8.15pm and ready for dinner.

Wednesday 12th February

I was in the gym at 6.30am this morning.  I got a bit extra done this morning.  I did 35mins on the x-trainer, 20mins stepper and 25mins bike.  Then down to the pool for a 30mins swim.

I would normally do my walks on my breaks at work, but today there was a hurricane outside so I stayed safe inside.

I had planned on running outside but with the weather so bad I stayed in the gym.  I did 40mins on the x-trainer, 20mins stepper and 25mins bike. I did a few crunches and leg raises. And finish off in the pool for a 30mins swim.

Thursday 13th February

I went to the gym for 7am.  I got my regular work out of 20mins x-trainer, 20mins stepper and 20mins bike.  Then my 30mins swim and I’m all set to go to work.

In the evening I did a 6mile run outside.  Finished early and headed home

Friday 14th February

Up a bit earlier this morning and in the gym for just after 6.30am.  I had to be at work early this morning so I got 30mins on the x-trainer done and then 20mins on the stepper.  That’s all I had time for and headed to work.

The weather was better today so I got my walks done on my breaks at work.  I feel it shortens my day by getting out of the office every few hours for a bit of fresh air.

In the evening I did my regular session of 40mins on the x-trainer, 20mins stepper and 25mins bike. I did a few crunches and leg raises. And finish off in the pool for a 30mins swim.  Home in time to watch the Late Late LOL!
