Monday was my usual swim session with TPT. Had to move in to lane 4 again because it was so busy. Managing to survive at that pace though. And throwing in turns on the slower reps. I have to breathe too hard on the fast reps to put in a turn as well. The turns are occasionally better as well.
Tuesday I missed my run. I had planned for it but not well enough and had a panic attack just before. Wednesday I did nothing but that was planned. Thursday I had Dexter but the depression and apathy won over even his help. We did go for a walk on the beach, and a walk round the park in the evening, but no real training.
Friday wasn't much better, but I felt guilty enough about having Dexter and not doing anything that I did force myself to go out for a run with him. Only half of what I had planned and even that was really slow.
Saturday, I finally started to make some progress on my weekly plan. Did my wii yoga session in the morning and went for my reps session in the afternoon. Then stretched out the rest of that run to pick up the rest of my miles for the week. In the afternoon I got my short weights session in as well.
Sunday was another good step forward. Weather was just about perfect for a bike ride and I have finally found some bike form. (Possibly aided by fiddling with my seat position through the week). The weather seems to have broken now and it was sunny and barely a breath of wind. Spent a lot of time at the front of the group and was even making decent progress on the few climbs that were in. Had to do a bit of clothing rearrangement as I was over-layered and a bit too hot. Off the bike I did a quick mile run just to practice running off the bike. That also went surprisingly well.
Went to see Dallas Buyers Club. For a movie shot in 28 days with a make-up budget of $250 it is a pretty amazing job. McConaughey, Leto and the make-up team are absolutely deserving of their Oscars. How 12 Years a Slave got best film and Gravity got best director still escapes me.
I finished off the week with my core and stretching sessions.
Slightly disappointing week in all. The first half of the week was really interrupted. By the end I had made all my basic numbers but with the two extra holidays I had hoped for more. My run plan is still ahead for the year and my swim plan is pretty close. Still short on bike miles but it looks like the weather might finally be stable for a while and I have been slowly picking at the losses on the weeks that I do get my long ride. Things did improve towards the end of the week and having a couple of extra days away from work has helped improve my mental state.
