w/c 23 Jan - Less is less

A very light training week - just 20 miles and about 3000' of climbing with no long run.

This was because of a combination of work and life events.  I was away for 4 days in Buckingham on a (very good) course and then it was time to enjoy my beautiful daughter's first birthday on Saturday.

Family, friends and neighbours were in attendance for the oblivious Rosie's big day.  More than anything, it was a day for reflecting on the progress we have made in a year as a family.  Not always easy, but always wonderful.

A regular easy week is said by many as a vital part of any training plan - a less is more approach, if you like.  This may be so, but I was not trying to be clever but was simply busy remembering that obsessed by getting fit for PBR I may be, it isn't the most important gig in town.

Rosie, Mummy, Daddy and Cake
Week summary:

Monday - nothing
Tuesday - easy 3M in Buckingham after course
Weds - nothing
