Trying to get back into an exercise routine after last weeks holiday and Febuary's disappointing totals. Cycled to \ from work today which was a bit tough (mainly since chain had got really rusty!) but weather was quite pleasent. I want to start doing longer cycles in the mornings, but I'm such a disaster.
Got out for a short run at lunch as well, a long time since I've done that. Nothing great to report, besides the fact I actually done it - 7 min non-stop with a few run\walks to round out a total run of 20 mins which I'm not going to complain about. Plan is to build on that and see how it goes.

Quick update
Following the big cycle on Sunday, I've been pretty dead - body just tired and generally feeling sorry for itself. Thankfully though, no lasting trouble from the cramps and I've cycled to \ from work both days.
Just thought I'd add a little postscript about an incentive scheme I have for 2011 - the idea is to get a new bike sometime during the year. So, I've decided that any day I cycle to & from work I contribute £3 towards a new bike. The reason for £3 is that it's approx. the cost of a return bus ticket to work. So far, I'm up to £9 :)

The week hasn't been a total write-off
Actually made it out for a run tonight, but really had to dig deep to get out there. Got back from work late enough, absolutely starving and the weather's been quite blustery all day so had convinced myself on at least three occasions to just make some dinner and relax.
Done my usual trick of putting on my kit, which if I get that far, always means I'll get a run in. The run itself wasn't really that enjoyable, found it tough enough. Aim was to do a short lap (5.5km) at 170bpm. As per usual, found I was hitting a wall after 4km, but struggled through.
I actually done a small lap PB, but that's technically not quite right as I've done two 5km runs before on the same route, but obviously stopped half a km short. Still, it's a marker for the future.
Also made it down to the pool today at lunch...nothing too stressful, mainly some drills and generally took it easy.
Just over two days to the holidays...can't wait.
