Well, the swim didn't happen, things on campus took longer than they should have - however I added a 20 minute uphill against the wind cycle to see my parents so that sort of made up for it.
Just did the weights - four sets of dozens today, which is where I was when I last did weights regularly about 2 months ago, maybe a little more. I'm happy to have got back to that in a little under two weeks. I'm a little better than I was then, as I completed four sets of weighted lunges - which has pleased me greatly.
For personal reasons the training and this record may become less regular over the next couple of weeks, I will try to keep up the morning sets as best I can, but not sure about the rest. Will update you as I can

Personal Best
And after that walk I made a personal best to my parents' house - 20 minutes door to door and a steak and kidney pie when I got there.
That'll do

7mph
Give or take - today started with a bike ride of about 7 and a half miles - which is not too bad. Morning sets were also done. I've just been given some suggestions about things I can add to the morning sets - going to have a think over the weekend and add something on next week - my arms have had a hammering over the last two days, I'm not adding anything more onto them this week.
The morning sets really hurt today.
I have grapes :)

Yup that hurt - though not as much as I thought it would
Yup, after last night's good effort, tonight was surf-fitness, still aching I got in the pool.
It was not the most epic session I've ever done, but it's an hour spent mostly out of breath, which is fine.
I did duck out of one of the games - a game of catch whilst treading water, not through exhaustion, but because the people in my team persisted in chucking the ball at me when I couldn't make eye contact with them (they were too far away without my glasses) to tell they were throwing it to me, despite being asked politely by me and then asked by the coach. I wandered off to tread water by myself since having things lobbed at me by idiots is not what I paid my three quid for.
That being said I did feel that my core stability as demonstrated by my ability to stay on a bodyboard while paddling along the pool has come along immensely in the two weeks I've had out - which is good.
More Eddie Izzard watched tonight -was awesome.
Hoping to be up and atomed tomorrow for a good cycle ride.

Not too bad for a tuesday
Morning sets - tick
bike ride - 25 mins (to my parents', I don't count the one to campus as I do it most days, and I don't count the way home from my parents' as it's mostly downhill)
swim - about half an hour, just under 400m - tick
That's not too bad for today. I need to get back into the weights really but am having trouble getting motivated, plus I wanted to devote some real time to my cardio as that is also a long running bugbear of mine.
Sadly I will not be attending either of my usual classes this week - boxing is not on and I am going to the theatre with my best friend rather than surf fitness. Naughty Sian - am hoping to make up on the weekend though (please please keep your fingers crossed for surf!)
