As I write, I'm sitting on a gloriously warm Sheringham beach. Unseasonably warm but I ain't complaining. Actually most of the warm weather has by-passed this part of the world. WEve had nice bright sunny days but chilly winds off the sea too.
I had planned to "go for it" this April in terms of heavy duty fitness but I still have to get it into my little head that a couple of fused back vertebra won't really allow that - so it's been a bit stop start as usual. I've notched up a couple of quick (quick for me) parkruns and even a few miles on the bike. Part of the excitement of taking today off was to try and bag a 25 mile+ ride but my back has been screaming "NO" at me all week. So a cheeky 40 minute ride round the lanes did it - call it a warm up for tomorrow's jig around Sheringham Park. I'm looking forwards to tomorrow's run as it marks DG's 100th. She's gone run crazy these last few weeks. On a recent trip to Scaborough she realised she'd notched up 50 miles that week.
As I have no set goals to achieve just now on the fitness front and with the inspiring London Marathon this weekend, I'm starting to sense the need to set a challenge. There are some intermediate events coming up that are more suited to old gits like me - as in a series of 10k beach runs and some interesting cycle sportives locally. Hopefully my current achyness state will once again dissipate and I can crack on with running biking and even a bit more of the old sods football.
But for the next couple of hours all I need to do is soak up a bit more of this Norfolk sunshine
