Lapsed again

Not on the training, but definitely on the blog! So, another one of those quick summary posts, and then back to normal.

Over a month to cover - eek.

Time out: the Round Norfolk Relay weekend (20/21 Sept), during which my support team and I (as team manager) saw the CoNAC ladies' team round the 17 stages/198 miles in 24h31:42, lopping 21 minutes off the ladies' record and claiming 7 stage wins including 4 new stage records. Well done team!

Then 10 days' holiday in Devon. Took the running gear, but... well, there were hills! To a girl who runs in Norfolk, it might as well have been the Alps! So did a bit of walking and a lot of eating and drinking instead.

Since then:

Running is going well. I'm getting quicker and feeling more comfortable. Most immediate goal is the Yarmouth 10k this Sunday, and then getting up to 10 miles ready for the Hereward Relay in November. Did a Tri-Anglia 10k last weekend (first of the club series) and got in at 52:22. Yarmouth is flatter and on-road, so maybe I could be looking at a new PB...

Cycling has taken a bit of a back seat - actually I haven't been on the bike since Waveney. I need to rectify that but am finding it hard to get together with anyone at the weekends (and I am rubbish at cycling on my own!).

Swimming is OK but I have given up the evening sessions after a couple of bouts of really painful cramp (as in can't move, almost crying with pain!). I'm still getting at least one daytime swim in on a Friday and need to get in another, maybe Tues or Sat.
