pc trouble

hi,

havent been on in a while for couple of reasons.

1... for some reason i couldnt get on my blog page, got hubby on the case and he sorted things for me.

2.. nothing to tell really, been a bit de motivated with work being cut down to a 2 day week since january and now the receivers are coming in.


but today i have been to local gym to get a programme sorted for me and i will be making use of that as well as the biking.

last night i went to hubbys works long service dinner and got £71 in sponor money, very gratefully received...........

The Stiperstones Shropshire 21.02.2009

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=519&id=1676280121&l=6db9d

Above is the link to photo's i took on the ride! all taken with my phone and not many.

this was a hard ride( in fact alot of it was walked, some of the uphill was really steep)
i am not sure that we kept to the route,and at times i thought i was gonna die.lol....but after doing it and sitting in the Stiperstones Inn with a half a lager looking back it wasnt so bad,( not sure i would want to do it again mind.!!!!!)
But i am sure somwhere along the ride in egypt i will think back to this day and say it was worth all the sweat and the aching limbs...
grand daughter is here today and i think we might be taking her to the pitch and putt,a somewhat more relaxing day today i think.......and tonight i chill out watching dancing on ice......i think i like sundays.........
til later

Beautiful day

This morning we woke to a frost,had to take hubby and son to work first thing....

Decided todays ride was only going to be a short one ,because ( weather permitting) me hubby(garry) and our mate alwyn will be doing a ride over the stiperstones tomorrow.

The picture with the hill in the distance is of the wrekin, this is very steep climb, i have walked it but garry has ridden up it and another mate of ours has unicycled down it( brave man)
The picture top left is of haughmond hill,have spent many hours biking over this, there is a pub at the bottom and on a summers night you cant beat a cold half of lager after 2 hours on the hill...........

The other picture is just of the road i had come up and was about to go back down.

I do hope the weather is like this tomorrow, i could of ridden much longer when it's like this.

til later

Hope Life Treats You Kind.

This is the weir in Shrewsbury, i stopped here for a few minutes on the ride back home.
Today I cycled to Montford Bridge and back, was slightly cold to start with but i soon warmed up, i passed 5 pubs but wasn't tempted to stop( had hubby been with me then it would of been very neccessary to stop at least one of them.lol).
If weather permits i will be out again tomorrow.

til later then
Hope Life Treats You Kind

My heartrate zones are 117-153

These rides are on cycle paths but not on flat, there are some steep gradients. but the nice thing is if i ride up i then know i have a ride down.so some recovery times.

I am also aiming to do 20 minutes a day on my trampette, i am doing 10 mins in a morning and 10 mins after being out on my bike after work.

This probably means nothing to most of you that read my blog, but hubby brought me a new toy to record my rides.
if i log it everytime i do a ride i can see how i am progressing.

I also need lessons on how to use and read the new toy......... now the weather is getting milder i will be out on my bike more,and doing longer rides. Iam beginning to understand the cycle computer and i even managed to take it off my bike without breaking it.

YOU REMEMBER ME TELLING YOU ABOUT MY KIDNEY STONE!!

HIYA,

well guess what popped out this morning.........LOOK TO YOUR LEFT!!!!!

This is what caused me so much pain at the beginning of january, had hubby take a picture for posterity. I am back at the hospital weds and they will take it off me to examine,so i probably won't see it again.

I have a stone in my right kidney,not sure how big that one is but i hope it does not decide to venture out...while its not moving i am in no pain( and thats how i like it).

still slack on my training, but back to it from tomorrow....NEED TO STOP BEING A WIMP.

bye til next time.

HOPE LIFE TREATS YOU KIND......
