Training Status Report - Week 7

Difficult to sum up the week as it was to coin a phrase a bit of a game of two halves.

Mileage was rubbish - a paltry 70 miles covered.

However on the upside, i did record my fastest two times for the to work route and also the return leg, averaging 19.5mph for the in leg, and then a couple of days later averaged 18mph for the home leg, which although shorter has a couple of stings in the tail.

So what else?

It is now only (?) 119 days to go to Mon Grand Depart (that's my date for leaving London, not the coincidental official depart that takes place about a week later when the TDF comes to town!)

I also spent some of my birthday money on a long sleeve 2006 replica discovery channel team jersey - woohoo!

Finally as a throwback to the post of a few weeks ago where my injury listing was looking like challenging Darren "Sicknote" Anderton's, I can report that my ribs are fine - no breakages, bruising or lasting damage. my right foot / ankle is still a bit sore, although i did re-commence running this week complete with foot support.

Till next time....
