Fitness training 50:00 [4]
slept:7.0 (injured) shoes: Nike Structure 14 Pair 2

Warmed up with 5 mins on bike; 30 mins (Rolling Hills) on XT on Level 10; 40 x leg press; 40 x leg extension; 5 mins on bike.

5 PM

Note

2012 - not a vintage year. Focused on running for first few months and should be reasonably pleased with the 79 mins at Cambridge. The injury I picked up there prevented anything happening in Spring and then work dominated the Summer. Was starting to pick up fitness in O-ing until the Lyme's took its effect; cleared up from there and then hamstrings and now calves reappeared as injuies. Grrr.

Aims for 2013 - JK and the various British champs (plus BUCS and Varsity!); followed by 6-Days in the summer and maybe some running races next Autumn.
