Back into the consistent training - it's been a while. Feeling very tired tonight thanks to a combination of a bit of insomnia, crazy work loads & a few late nights & early mornings. But I am slowly but surely getting my groove back. I just hope it arrives before Sunday....
After skipping yoga on Monday morning after a restless nights sleep, I headed to the gym at lunch for a weights session (back/bis/core). I was surprised at how strong I felt given that its been over 5 weeks since my last weights session. But thinking about it, using a walking pole to pull myself through the Himalayas for 3 weeks was probably a good substitute!
Tuesday morning it was back to the gym, this time for an interval session on the bike -
5mins w/u
6 x 4mins efforts (L10) w/ 2mins recovery
5mins c/d
Total: 46mins
Today after another late night, I dragged my butt out of bed for a run. I'm glad I did - it was a beautiful mild, clear morning - very different from the pea-soup fog that I drove through at the same time (5am) yesterday morning. I really struggled to get going but eventually got my act together. I also managed to get lost (again) - the second time I've done that since I got back from my trip. As 2P would say, I zigged when I should have zagged - all the roundabouts & McMansions around here look the same! So much for being mindful - next time I must pay attention to where I am & not dream about great adventures..... Finished with about 6kms which I think is probably my longest niggle-free run since Six Foot. About bloody time too...

Why does it always seem like we need a vacation after a vacation? Glad you are settling back into your routine!
Nice One Jen,
Does this mean that you might crack double figures for k's run this month *wink*
I like it when the word 'niggle' is followed by the word 'free' :)
vacations are NEVER long enough are they - you should take another one straight away ;)
hey, sorry I haven't been over here for a while. Great to re-visit the great trekking pics.
Just mind you don't zig the way coach 2P does - could end up in hospital instead of just the next street over.
You only need to double that (plus a bit) for Sunday Jen. A simple thing compared to what you had to do at 6' :)
it must seem strange not seeing yaks around every corner.
that is assuming there are no yaks in 'penriff' of course.
glad to hear the kms are adding up.
Everyone gets lost in the McMansion suburbs - mindful or not.
Good luck on Sunday!
Cheers,
Ben
