Yeah... So I've been kinda bad with this, as well as the actual training lately... Lots has happened, I swearz! It's just that work, cycling too much on an empty stomach one evening, parents coming over, work, sickness, going home, and sickness again have all conspired against me.
I'm (sorta) still getting the distances in. Two 50 km cycles lately, both inside a week of each other, followed by a few shorter ones between 20 and 40 km to keep me going. Running occasionally sees a reprise. What's odd is that it's not getting any harder, despite leaving it ages in between runs. If I can actually sort out some discipline, then I might actually start to get better again!
Unfortunately, due to the above mentioned reasons, the shooting has suffered greatly. When I only have one evening a week to play with, and it's a Friday, the day everything in the universe happens on (unless the planet has been bulldozed the previous morning), it's gonna be inevitable that I miss some days. Like, three in a row. But anyway, I'm gonna try to get into the Old Munich range, which is pretty close and has kick ass facilities. Go with a fresh start, etc.
Finally, I was bold. I ordered my road bike last week. It should hopefully arrive next week some time. Which will be amazing. I was unfortunately constrained in my colour choices, but I'll bling it up over time :) Once I get that, heading south to some hills will most certainly be in order! Also, mudguards are amazing. I never knew how annoying muddy pants from a short commute could be until this year.
Really finally, I've enrolled in a German speaking course in Munich this Summer, which I'll be cycling in and out to in the evenings This will add about 15 km or so onto my daily commute, so I'll be looking at about 35 km a day, four days a week for the eight weeks of the course, which will push my weekly kilometerage up nicely. Add in a long weekend spin and I'm looking at over 200 km a week, which isn't half bad at all.
