Dead Bug..

May 8th, 2008 by forecastman in Mark's Training

The weather has been fantastic, which left no excuse to avoid stepping up the training. Been out on the bike every day since last wednesday, barring a break on Tuesday when I tried running instead. Struggled a bit with the running, still got to get a lot fitter, but it didn’t seem to upset the back this time. Up to 35 miles today, which was OK though found the wind a bit tough. Must cut down on the onions…..
Had a go at manually creating a route on my GPS. It actually worked fine, just like having my own satnav, though I suddenly appeared to be 20 yds from the road by Meon Shore. If it had been high tide I’d have been in serious trouble! Means I’m going to have to fork out for some mapping software now.
Oh, and had another trip to the chiropracter on Wednesday. She was very pleased with progress, don’t have to go back for four weeks, though I got a ticking off for slacking on my core stability exercises. Apparently going to be tested on the ‘Flying Bug’ next time. In the mean time got to keep up with the others, The Cobra, Dead Bug and Superman to name just a few. I prefer to do those when Anita’s not around. It only confirms what she already knows…… I’ve got a few screws loose..
