So where did all this come from?

My friend Matthew Loughrey and his family lost their beautiful daughter Emily Rose Loughrey to cancer in 2007. Matthew Loughrey and his youngest daughter Jessica Loughrey cycled from Lands End to John OGroats on 02 June-12 June 08.

In 2007-08 the Loughrey family and his many supporters raised over £56,000 for the charity.

This year he has stepped up his own challenge by cycling from Chatham to Gibraltar from 02-12 June 2009. See his blogs for more information. http://chatham-gibraltar.blogspot.com/

It's so inspiring that I took on the challenge of trekking in Iceland in August 2008 and now set myself my new Challenge to take part in the London Triathlon.

So about me: I am Just-Paula, I am 38, a subject leader in ICT, I have two wonderful daughters my Sarah (Sezzbag) and Leanne (Leannie-babe). I believe that life is about living, give to others and just be yourself. So about the challenge: Well its starts with a nice swim, a slow bike ride and a gentle jog ! Not! So this blog is going to be about my training leading up to the event. I can swim, I can jog, and just about ride a bike! So here's goes nothing..........

Rome wasn't built in a day!

So what can I say......

A fairly good run got tired in a couple of places, slight heartburn! Got my sunglasses on so no one can see me…..

Transition from run to bike was good, gave my legs a good warm up, standing up on the hill makes it much easier, and gets the muscles really warm. Two rounds fairly fast – heart beat sitting at 161. Only thing I would say – need to wear padded shorts those humps are a little hard on the bum!

Third round of the route well might as well get off and walk would have been a quicker but hey Rome was not built in a day so another day tomorrow – to do it all again.

Target: To lose another stone, tone my tummy up and start to really push this body of mine now.

Equipment needs: Padded shorts, a personal trainer, an ipod and good weather – roll on spring! Car is going for a sleep and bike will come out to play.
