Bricks bricks bricks building a bloody house!

Well you would be forgiven for thinking so by the number of times I use this phrase in the blog at the minute but they are all little iddle piddle ones . Today was a bit of  an improvement with a 10k bike (on my newly serviced road bike ... By serviced, I mean tyres pumped up and gears/chains rattled a bit by a bloke in a bike shop and then charged me £20 so I am not expecting anything great here) immediately followed by a 3miler run, very very steady but done. Then a quick 10laps  in the pool and out. Need to ramp this up quite a bit for the weekend when I will aim for a 20k bike and 5k run to prove I can do it ok. Then I will do , say tues next week with a focus on running, speed and hills and then taper off. Maybe just some swimming and weights.  Do now't until the race. Ideally I would like and extra week to go at a medium to hard pace with hills and fast short runs but maybe the brick thing is the best route. What do you reckon? Anyhow, keep the faith my friends.
