Well I started the week off really well, 15km bike ride a few hills in for good measure. The weather took its toll a bit with cold windy conditions causing me a few breathing issues, but I finished part 1. Then out for my 5km run, I am strangely finding this part easier than I expected. I am trying to pace myself so I'm not too tired but whilst maintaining a sensible pace. I don't feel any aches or pains after I finish or the following day, but this time my left achillies tendon is a bit tight so I know the only option is rest it. I'm hoping that by Sunday / Monday I should be ready to put together the 20km ride and 5km run. The only bit left is the swimming, my intention is to concentrate on the full swim length then add a small bike ride in maybe 5km then do the full 5km run, as I know that my body will adapt from the bike to run easily I need to focus on getting all of it together.
I was due to go to Skipton on Sunday to practice the full route, however due to a very heavy Saturday night out, not intentionally I hasten to add, I was poorly all day Sunday. It annoyed me that once again I had done this to myself when I should know much better. So during this week I have hit a down patch of beating myself up for my shortfalls and misgivings. It has made my motivation leave my body completely and leaving behind my can't be arsed attitude. Work was on autopilot and trying to keep awake was a challenge. It's not often I have these times but when they appear they zap me and literally drive me underground.
So this week's tasks are to get the 20km and 5km bike in, then at the end of the week a distance swim, hopefully full distance followed by a bike sesh and a run. Hope is my number 1 guy.
Have you ever seen a million dollars ?
No
So how do you know it's real ?
