16 INCH BICYCLE WHEEL

Well actually Bike Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday! (Weather permitting!)

This week sees the start of my summer challenge. With the kids now on school holidays I only have to sort myself out in the mornings on the above days and get to work! So with my 2nd Bristol half-marathon coming up in 7 and a bit weeks time I'm keeping fit by cycling the 13 miles (21km) to work.

The goal is to make the journey in less than an hour before we take our summer vacation in August (the same vacation I have been dared to 'look good okay' in a wetsuit!).

I've already taken 5 minutes off my personal best of 1 hour 10 minutes, so hopefully it will be an achievable goal. The only downside is that I've got to try and fit some running in as well otherwise I won't be prepared for the race.

I think beating my half-marathon personal best is going to be a little harder!
