Catching up on the last few weeks....

 Hi!  It's been a while, actually it's been over a month..... So life got a bit busy, work got busy, and the weekends just kinda disappeared...but here's what I have been up to over the last month and a bit!  January was my last time at working working in my old place, before I took on a new role somewhere else, that started in feb, but in between the job changes, we also went on a training camp over to #girona!  We enjoyed long rides, trail runs, fantastic coffee and just taking in the sites. The pace of life is different there and the days are more at ease, it took a bit of adjusting when we got back!  Once we got back I started my new job, I've been in it about a week and a half now and it's quite possibly the most epic start to a job I've ever had. Despite everything going on its an exciting role and I'm so happy to be there.  We wrapped up this week by getting up at 4am and driving 2 hours to go for a run and a ride up a big hill 🙃 apparently it's ...

Sunday morning date ride.....

Hey guys, Welcome back to the Blog!  This week's adventure sees us visit the ock street fair, usual work stuff, dinner, a show and a Sunday bike ride date for coffee.  The fair lasts just two days and runs the whole length of Ock street in Abingdon, officially called the Michaelmas fair it is the longest street fair in Europe. It comes round every year and being residents of ock street it is right outside our door, two evenings of fun fair food, treats and walks up and down, as well as late nights due to the noise and later morning starts to make up the sleep.  We usually go on the waltzers but this year I wasn't really feeling it so we mostly just took a wander, got some food and treats and chilled with some TV, the cold I spent most the previous weekend fighting off hadn't gone, and even as I write this now a week later its still not fully gone, but its nearing the end.  The rest of the week wasn't really much different to normal, in fact the only change really was...

The weekend that wasnt....

 Hi guys Jess here,  This week I haven't really been up to anything too exciting, I've been working on sticking to a usual wake up routine as part of my recovery from brutal, and taking care of my plants. Dave needed a lot of TLC this week.  Most the week has just been the usual week of work, commuting with the chaotic traffic (although I have been really bad at taking the bus instead of walking), a run with my friend and just keeping up on general life.  I was super excited for this weekend with plans to go to Park run while Chris raced down in London and then a Sunday morning coffee date ride. However my immune system had other ideas.  As the weather changed along came the coughs, colds, and general sniffles, I don't normally get hit with these till later in the year (occupational hazard) but I think the over hanging fatigue of brutal knocked down my immune system quicker, so this weekend I have been fighting of a cold that's been threatening since about Wedne...
