C'est la vie...

Short & sweet update today as I have very little to report this week.

I came home from Huski on Monday fired up (more fired up than I have been in recent months I must say) to get stuck into some speed work over the next 3 weeks ahead of my final race of the season.

Unfortunately the universe had other plans for me.

My 86 year old grandmother fell last Sunday & broke her wrist so I spent most of Monday to Wednesday at the hospital with her. She suffers from Parkinsons disease and dementia (which is a common side affect for Parkinsons sufferers apparently) so she was very vague, scared & uncertain. A difficult start to the week physically (due to a lack of sleep) and emotionally (needless to say).

Then Wednesday night I started to develop a sore throat which has since developed into a bad cold.

So my exercise for the week consisted of a grand total of 60mins walking with TigerAngel around Parramatta Park on Thursday morning & a few physio-order pilates exercises when I had some spare time.

My cold is quite bad today - between you & me, I think R is enjoying my husky voice at the moment - so I imagine it will be mid-week before I feel human enough to train again.

C'est la vie.

Sorry about your mum. Hope she's OK. Broken bones aren't the best at that age.

Have been keeping up with your cold via Twitter, but can't recall you saying anything about the husky voice ;)
