Week fourteen - Friday

Today I cycled to and from work.


I last did this in April and pretty much hated every single second of it but today I set off with my new attitude firmly in place, hoping for a big improvement.


I’m pleased to report the new attitude seems to have kicked in.  I found the ride pretty easy and I knocked a huge amount off the previous times I achieved.


It was really gratifying to see not only a huge difference in how I felt now versus April when I last did the trip but also how much better and more positive I felt as opposed to Wednesday.


I have thrown out the Prudential Training plan and written my own for the next two weeks.  It is fairly similar to the official plan but it takes into account when I can cycle.  That way I will not feel bad that I am not doing what the official plan says I should be.  I have also added all my meals to the plan so I can see I am eating healthily on the run up.  


This last fortnight will see me going all hardcore.  No booze, no sweets, no biscuits, no cakes, no puds and lots of whole-wheat stuff.  As previously mentioned though, the most important part of the preparation is keeping my mind clear of negative thoughts.  I can and will do this.
