A slightly different start to this week as I had a holiday Monday and had to put a run in to the morning to get home from the garage while the car brakes get repaired. So an easy 5k in the morning to start the week. Then I went to my normal swim session in the evening. Slightly longer than a normal week at 2,400m but good pace throughout.
Tuesday was another loop around Kirkhill in the dark.
Wednesday I had a rest day. And I really needed it. Missing out on massages the last few weeks has left me with a few little muscles aches that are not loosening off with the basic rollering and stretching.
Thursday I had to cut my planned session to go and collect the car from the garage. I still managed to fit in a run around Dyce in the evening. Just a short loop around the block to get my legs moving. My lungs are definitely not enjoying the cold air, but my legs seem to be dealing quite well with it.
Friday I was going to put in an hour on the gym bike but I had to go home in a rush and cut it out. That probably leaves me short of bike miles this week as I don't really have the legs or the inclination to go 55 in the cold on Sunday.
Saturday I dragged myself out for a lap around Dyce before I went for a dose of Xmas shopping. I am definitely not a fan of early Saturday mornings. Nor am I a fan of last-weekend Xmas shopping. I should have finished nearly a month ago but a couple of people have been horrible to shop for and I have had to give up and just get them last minute things.
Sunday I went for the group ride with the Kintore group. They were planning to go 60 miles and I decided that was going to be out of my range. So I planned to drop off them at 18 miles and loop round another 25 miles solo for a 42 mile total. I had planned the route in advance but I obviously didn't think too hard about the short cut. I turned off at 18 and went straight into two consecutive climbs, over 500ft in under 3 miles with a blasting headwind. Once I was over those though it was a fairly pleasant ride back and I managed to sneak in under 3 hours.
Then in the afternoon we went to see Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. It is much better than the second one, maybe not quite as good as the first one though.
Missing my midweek bike session meant that I didn't get my miles this week and once again I have been completely lazy about my ancillary sessions. Good week for running though, despite the pain in my calf, and I have Dexter to run with from tomorrow.
