Weather Warning

It's been a week of crazy weather - 75mph winds, hail, thunder storms, downpours and now snow!  It's caused havoc with travelling around the country.  Even our January MOKRUN planning meeting didn't escape the disruption, with some of the committee not making it or having to abandon cars at the bottom of our hill, having to walk up in the snow!   

Despite the weather warnings, we had a great week and tried not to let it hamper training, ploughing on with club sessions and surprisingly had a high attendance!  We chose sheltered places in the wind, utilising the wind at our backs and tried to avoid the slippy pavements.  This did mean we didn't get to do the sessions or routes on our plans but we got out and that's the main thing :-)  I didn't get out on the bike at all but I'm hoping spin will keep up my 'bike legs'.  Only 19 weeks or so to go until Arranman?!  Argh!  

Highlights of the week:

Big fla meets Wee laila for the first time on Monday (2 days old) - a natural ;-)


Cold weather = hot chocolate time

Frosty the snowman on the decking - fun

My cuddles with baby Laila getting me broody
The happy parents :-)

Spicy tomato, pepper & bean soup

Homemade chicken curry - yum
Lovely walk along westport with Maz, Jen and Alix (and Mia and Barney!)
 
Training log for the week - 55 miles running, 3 spin sessions and 3 swims. Along with 1 fbx, 1 kettlebells, 1 combat and 2 core workouts.  Shame the nutrition has let me down a little.... mum's birthday cake and a discovery of a box of celebrations didn't last long!
