HM minus 7 weeks...

Sunday 16 October - 60mins long run

I let myself get really dehydrated yesterday at FF so today I've felt like I had a hangover - without the alcohol or the dancing. Spending 5 hours in the office didn't help my mood either. I didn't really feel like going for a run so it was fortunate that I had agreed to meet the Owl and Dave from Trivia (who danced up a storm with us at Retro the other week!) at 4pm for a lap of the Bay (including the canal). Cool conditions except for the headwind on the western side of the Bay which made it pretty hard work. I felt really flat and my LH soleus was really/unusually tight which was strange. Taping my knee however helped - there was no niggle/pain in my knee which was a nice change.

Summary: 9kms; 58mins

Monday 17 October - swim (1km)

Up early for a quick swim. I haven't swum for over a year now after damaging my rotator cuffs in my right shoulder so I was a little anxious about getting back in the pool as it took me 6mths to get my shoulder back to 100%. Very relaxed 30mins in the pool, particularly thanks to 2 women doing a very leisurely breaststroke in the medium lane. Grrr. Off to the cricket today - assuming of course it stops raining....

Summary: approx. 1km (I lost count a few times...); 30mins

This week training has been a bit interrupted thanks to my delightful ITB:
Satan - 2
Walk to work - 1 (1hr)
Runs - 3 (40/40/60)
Cheersquads - 1

The week ahead will be interesting - work will be particularly feral this week so I need to make sure I get plenty of sleep and eat properly (I've been forgetting to eat at work lately - and anyone who knows me will know just how unusual that is!)
Monday: swim - 1km; 30mins
Tuesday: 6 x 2mins; 1min SR + appointment with physio + Andy the Pod
Wednesday: Satan
Thursday: Satan + 10mins 30/30
Friday: 2 x 30mins spin classes
Saturday: 30mins easy run
Sunday: 90mins run
