Right. In an effort to prevent my posts being longer & more boring than Ulysses, I'm going to try & post more regularly. Well, that's the plan anyway!
Work has been messing with my training plans - again. If anything this week has been a reminder to make the most of my training opportunities when they arise because work can become fn feral very quickly. But hey, that's life I suppose. Besides it's hard to be grumpy when you've just booked an escape to Brampton Island for a couple of days next month :-)
Monday
PM - gym session
Got stuck in the office so ran out of time to do both my gym session & swim so the gym session won. Then home to do the rest of my daily physio-ordered stuff
Tuesday
AM - up at 4.45am for a 40mins interval session on Betty.
On the menu today was lots of short & hard efforts. Ouchy. Turned out to be a feral day at work - unfortunately I had to cancel my (much-needed) massage & didn't get home from work until after 9.30 so catching up on Monday's (missed) swim was out of the question.
Wednesday
PM - gym session + 5mins run on the treadmill + 1k swim + daily physio-ordered stuff.
The swim was cr*p. It was supposed to be 1.4k including 2 x 500m efforts but I had absolutely nothing in the tank. It was a struggle even to do the 1k.
Thursday
AM - up at 4.30 to do 60mins on Betty in front of the telly off the seat with increased resistance to simulate hill climbing during the ad breaks.
Ouchy. Very ouchy so far as my quads were concerned. And let's just say tv viewing at 4.45am in the morning does not make for the most interesting hour. It was quite amusing actually. Thanks to the US morning shows today I learnt what handyman things around the house you should & shouldn't do yourself, how to disguise good healthy stuff in meals for your kids and how to potty train your children from 3mths old so they are "diaper-free". LOL Yep, all very helpful stuff ;-) Next time I'll be looking for a movie that we've taped with adds still in it...
Feeling very tired & fatigued now. Other than a physio appointment (which will include my 5mins run) tomorrow (Friday), nothing now until my long ride on Saturday. Good - I need some sleep.

Lazing around in the "warm" sun on the "flat" sand of Brampton Island...nice :-)
You're damn right life is now! This isn't a rehearsal - every moment you spend is opening night!!!
It's like that, hey (life that is). Brampton Island should be nice and might be a change of pace from your usual holidays and trips out of town!?
Potty training from 3 months...what the?
If you'll excuse me for commenting on an old post...
You do realise there are those of us who are frequently awake at 4:45 for whom the subject of a "diaper-free" 3 month old would be extremely interesting. Got any hints? I almost suffocated this morning...
