I've put together a training plan, mixing up running with cycling and swimming, with the intention of running it all and getting a PB - 1:49:35 would do it (10:55 mm) Today was Day 1. It's a rest day. Tick

Today was supposed to be a swim but the local pool where I go is shut for maintenance for a couple of weeks so that didn't happen. It was too frosty for safe cycling so I read a book instead.
