Jubilee at the Palace

After a non event yesterday after such a big day on the Sunday i was back into it this morning. I decided to miss the HuRTS session after hearing the latest weather forecast for the day plus the fact i hate the planned 45 minute tempo set and went solo in Centennial Park doing 4 x 2ks reps.
Have a good little course mapped out that sees a steady climb for the first 500 metres then a flat 1k and downhill for the final 500. Don't know if i was just tired from the weekend, lack of motivation or what but i never really got going today - Went through the first 1k in 3.47 and tried to bring it home throughout the 2nd. Times were all down on what i can normally do, but at least they were all consistent and doing them by myself was always going to be harder.
Times were 7.08, 7.07, 7.05, 7.04
Will be back out in the morning for the regular Brick session and then again for the HuRTS set on Thursday with the boys, missed my Monday swim yet again yesterday as i basically find even moving from the front lounge a struggle at times. Sunday was spent celebrating my win in the annual English Football tipping Comp we do, beers, cash winnings, 'Green'Jackets' and the most prized 'Wobbly Head' trophy - What more can a boy from Stoke want :)

Being presented with the honours on Sunday , and NO that is not Enda on the right :)


A perfect Sunday


If you fancy your chances of winning the 'Wobbly Head' next year - let me know
Ps, Kanser was in this year - finishing 2nd.... LAST


Also just had Slim Sammy Agnew on the phone to me getting all excited about the title of Today's blog - Sorry to report though Sammy  that Crystal Palace haven't won nothing (think we will need to wait longer then 60 years for that to happen) , Unless you have been living under a rock you couldn't have helped but notice all the Pomp and Ceremony that has been going on in the 'Mother Land' as the Jubilee Party & Celebrations continue. It looks absolutely brilliant with the country gripped in a 4 day party. I have heard Enda is throwing a party  as well this weekend for all those that are keen - again just rock up in anything Red, White or Blue and tell him i sent you :)

Another one of Stoke's finest was sent to kick off the Jubliee Concert overnight - check Mr Williams out here.
