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..........

Windy days - Word of warning!

so what can I say just got back from my ride!

Might have well been a hundred miles as that is what if felt like in the wind on a road bike. I would safely say that I am fitter than the average person but my god that hurt. It seemed to be that the sky moved with me, every single hill the wind was there and every flat it wasn't.

So didnt go my normal route today, those two major hills I would have got off and walked so slightly different route, when I am not so tired I will map my route.

So you have ups and downs in training - but don't give in, don't be too hard on yourself. Just get back on it and ride again.

Well I smell so I am off for a hot soak in the bath to make myself look like a women again and smell like one -ha ha, all the fun of exercise. God I need chocolate today!

Until my next ........ Paula x
