Bro, unfortunately my early starts are more related to work-related pressures than to any determination on my part !
What's that saying about not being so busy making a living that you forget to make a life? That pretty much sums up my week - although I haven't forgotten to "make a life" (one particular 'excursion' was a wonderful & krazy reminder) the "making a living" part certainly has got in the way. It has been a truly horrid week at work. 3 nights so far this week I haven't been home from work until after 10pm. Needless to say, the training has suffered. Let's see - it's Thursday night & all I've done since my long ride on Sunday is visit the physio on Monday where I ran niggle-free for 4mins - god knows how given that I haven't been doing my exercises recently - and an easy 30mins spin on Apollo on Tuesday morning. Thankfully it is a recovery week - talk about perfect timing! All I need now is a recovery week from work so I can get some training done. A well timed sick day next week should help :-)
I can't say that I'm feeling particularly rested or 'recovered' right now but I'm sure the combined effect of getting off my ever-increasing arse (now that work pressures have eased momentarily) for a swim or ride tomorrow followed by a relaxing weekend down the coast with R will fix that :-)
Good luck to all my friends running - and cheering - on Sunday. My thoughts will be with you.

Look on the bright side - at least you have more padding for the bike seat :-)
