Monday I rushed home from work so I could get out for a run, then get my dinner and yoga session in before going to give blood. Turns out there wasn't a huge rush as the queue for giving blood was so long that they turned me away. So I also managed to go to swimming and treat that as a normal session as well. I was moved up to lane 4, which is handy as I wrote that in to my end of year targets so being there in my first session of the year is a decent start.
Tuesday I had to squeeze in a quick run before going out to an evening presentation. As with last week this resulted in me turning my easy recovery run into my fastest run of the week. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to start my yoga session until 10pm. Apparently that doesn't work for me. I managed about 12 minutes of the 45 minute session before I ran out of motivation.
Wednesday I felt pretty crap after work and another trip to the dentist. I just about managed the short yoga session but it was very ugly and untidy. Then at the last minute the club fartlek session was cancelled for ice. I dragged myself out for a very cold and slow lap around Dyce, and had a rather disconcerting dizzy spell about half way round. That might have been due to the cold, or possibly the last few weeks of fairly heavy training has piled up to exhaustion point. Thursday is an indoor session, probably just on the turbo which should show either way.
Thursday demonstrated that it was neither. I woke up with a head cold. Huge doses of lemsip later and I still felt like crap and decided to drop both the turbo and yoga sessions.
Friday I felt significantly better so I sat on the turbo trainer for 30 minutes just to spin out my legs and satisfy my GymPact. Also cut half an hour off the turbo time I will need to put in to Sunday morning.
Saturday I still didn't feel 100% but I had already agreed to go for a swim so I dragged myself out of bed and along to the pool for a pyramid session. 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 300m, 200m, 100m. It was a bit of a struggle and the pace wasn't great, but it got me over the target for swimming this week. In the afternoon I felt a bit too rough to get through my backlog of yoga or go for a run.
I did collect and set up my new bike, and finally got round to painting the dining room and catching up on my online courses.
Sunday I dragged myself out of bed, still suffering from the cold and joined a group run at Kirkhill. It was a nice easy pace which suited me being ill. That got me the missed miles from earlier in the week to to get me over my target but meant I couldn't fit in a longer cycle session. When I got home I decided to spin an hour on the turbo to try and minimise the bike losses for the week. Then I did Thursday's yoga session. It was quite a big day, especially for still being sick.
Despite a busy week and a cold I have managed to get all of my running and swimming for the week and I did two bike sessions. I lost a few days of yoga but I will just run a few days behind the programme for the rest of the month.
