Monday was a public holiday so no swim session and I was feeling lazy so rather than run in the morning when it was beautiful I waited until the afternoon when the storm clouds had gathered... I go drenched but managed the 45 minute run as planned.
Tuesday is indoor trainer day.... This time I did the whole 83minute interval session... tough but I got it done.
Wednesday is run morning and again managed the 50 minute run. Sasha my dog, loves a run but she is getting a little old. The first 4km she was great, started lagging a little in the next 3km and by the last few km I was dragging her home. She collapsed on the floor when I got home but at least she wakes for food.
Wednesday night was stretching class again. Feels good to get these in each week.
Thursday I was dog tired (a little like my dog) and decided I needed to stay in bed .... so I did... not good for training but sometimes I just need to do this. Then that evening by the time I finished work I felt a bit snuffley like I was coming down with something. I know that it is important to rest early if you want your immune system to work well... so no swimming for me this week and home I went for chicken soup and oranges. Combined with some extra water and a herb called andrographis (cold combat is the brand I get) and early to bed...
Friday I felt OK so went for my recovery run.... Sunrises are spectacular in Winter when it isn't too cloudy and although I missed the sunrise on Friday I did get it on Saturday when I sent for my my longer run - 45minutes at a good pace.
Sunday morning was a early ride then meet with the group for the sunday morning ride. Got a gentle 70km ride in (160 minutes) and followed it up with a 1km run to the coffee shop. Great way to manage my day.
So to date in my program I have trained for just over 20 hours with this week being a little short due to my day off.
My diet on the other hand.... that's another story... I need to limit food in the house I think... when I am not training I get so hungry although realistically it's probably thirsty so this week its going to be drink more water week for me.
