311 Days to Go...

Forgive me Followers; it has been 14 days since my last blog...

You will be pleased to note that my training has undergone a dramatic turn and I am now churning out the kilometers.......NOT.

But I have engaged the services of a GB Tri-Athlete to keep me on the straight and narrow path of long distance riding...but her services only take effect from 1st January 2012.

And, I have soaked the bike rack bolts that used to hold my school bag on in WD40 for the last week, so I reckon I'm just about ready to try and remove it from my treadly!

In other training news I am compiling inspirational training tunes for my iPod, so any suggestions for upbeat, motivational and pumping tunes much appreciated….one from each of you should help my cause!!

In personal news, I really need this training to start, but I refuse to do anything before Christmas as it is SO my time to eat, drink and be merry….

Starting with my Work Christmas Do last weekend...2 words…Free Bar….
1st Note To Self – Do Not Drink Rum…
2nd Note To Self – If you talk to someone you have no idea who they are, do not introduce yourself with a comedy poker name, followed by a loud Yeeeehar complete with finger pistols shooting all the people you think are ‘dicks’…Also, make sure you don’t bang on about how ‘you do nothing all day’, and ‘how the drivers need to be more careful because they are crap at driving”  and that your mantra for work is ‘don’t have any accidents because I cant be arsed with the paperwork’…
The reason I say this, is that the person may just turn out to be your New Boss…..eek!!

In other personal news, I finally made an honest woman of my other half by popping the question….wedding plans are afoot…but I am disappointed to pass on the news that a) it wont be fancy dress, b) it wont be karaoke for entertainment and c) apparently I am not being married by an Elvis impersonator or at the Drive Thru Chapel of Love……tsk.  More on that later…

OK – from now on I will also be signing off with a reminder to sponsor me (if you haven’t already) using the link above (assuming that I actually did it right…)

Gracias,

Jenjer

The Start of Summer...

The first day of summer seems like a good time to get back into blogging... It's been a fair few years since I have shared my thoughts with you, my apologies for that but life sometimes does get in the way... Since we last spoke, I have accepted and departed from oh, lets see, 2 jobs...maybe 3...who can say when it's been so much fun! 😉 Soooo much to tell you on that front, and now I can! But I'll save my rantings on ginger, small-dicked misogynistic wankers for another time... Right, flexing of my fingers s over....I'll be back to tell you the tale of the past year or two shortly! Gracias, Jenjer x

Jenjer’s Missing Riding Mojo

5 th April – 198 Days to go OK – so the 30k ride didn’t go too well…actually it was rubbish as I barely managed 20k’s – and that included riding to the train station and home again. As the Queen of Excuses, I think where I am struggling is the pace I ride at.   I like to ride at ooooh 10-12kph…and Sar likes to ride at 16-18kph…so there is always a huge gap between us and the mental issue of ‘being last’…something I am not used to. How to up the pace? I know the answer is to ride faster (D’oh) but I literally do not appear to have the legs for it.   Now my legs have always been pretty strong, but recently they are all fat and no muscle, and my riding goes something like ‘pedal pedal glide’ as opposed to ‘pedal pedal pedal’ which invokes much piss-taking from Sar, my brother and even my Mum. How to remedy this? Physically, I am assuming more time on the bike and weights will fix this - Doris , help me out here? Mentally, I really really really need to find my missing ridi...

The 30km Test

14 th March – 220 days to go So, after a couple of rides over small distances i.e., to the beach and back, the first test is looming this Sunday in the form of a 30km charity bike ride. 30kms, I am rationalizing in my head, is not really that far…its basically from the new place to the bottle shop 30 times....how hard can that be…right?! What I’m not looking forward to is the sore arse I know I’ll have the next day despite wearing those lovely chamois padded lycras….I’m also not really looking forward to the 7.30am start….I mean Sunday is sleep in day, and cramming in breakfast and exercise at that hour is frankly, quite rude. This ride will be a good mini test for a longer ride and I am actually looking forward to it. To celebrate, I have new gel riding gloves (with pink & white flowers of course!) so I am keen to get them out for playtime! After a training run on the hockey pitch last night, I realize exactly just how unfit and lazy I have become (yes…’become’ to all those ...
