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..........

So in light of the coming review!

Nothing better than having a work issue to get you heated up for that session at the gym!
One word of warning - wear padded cycling shorts when you want to take it out on the cycling machine.

Anyway enough of that!

Set off for a nice 2000mts rowing down the Medway! - I did say nice - didn't I?
Followed by a fast cycle up the alps for 10kms - well in front of the Rugby screen anyway.
Then a nice jog of 5km! Remember the music and water - I will get myself organised one day!
A little stretch, which I love as I am quite flexible, I love making people go 'God I wish I could do that'! Not bad for 38 - A little bit big headed but if you can, why not!

Anyway I followed it off with a little dip - my first words a silent 'Ahhhhhhrrrrrooooo' think cycling shorts - your know what I mean. Anyway once over the shock I did 25 lengths of the pool before a little relaxing in the hot tub.

Thats it - despite the coming high stress levels on Monday, I will get on my bike tomorrow for a hopeful 23miles ride-with padded bib!, Depending on the wind factor - until then - Paula x
