Monday was a simple commute to and from work on the mountain bike and then a trip to swimming in the evening. My shoulder wasn't happy about any of it but I managed to tick off the minimum numbers.
Tuesday's TT I was down to marshall rather than race so I took the opportunity to just cycle to work and then out to the race, a couple of hours of helping out and then a ride home. That meant for a long day and a lot of miles on the bike. Tuesday alone I put more training time in than I did the whole of last week. My right shoulder was still bothering me whenever I got out of the saddle or tried to do a bit of an aero tuck. It is still improving but feels like it will need another couple of weeks before it will be back to normal.
Wednesday I took the slightly safer option of taking the mountain bike for my commute again. Both rides included detours that added to the times a little but it still felt like pretty tough going both ways and let me add miles to my week.
Thursday was just an easy jog in the morning before I got into wedding mode and started on all the last minute jobs like collecting granny and delivering things to the venue. Then a lovely family dinner and giving out some great presents. Then I stole Dexter to keep me company on my last night as a bachelor and went home to watch Bolt in the Olympic 200m.
Friday morning I obviously had better things to do in the afternoon but Dexter and I had to go out in the morning to burn off some nervous energy. We just did half a lap of Dyce with a detour through Asda to pick up a couple of last minute things for people who had forgotten essentials.Then off to Pittodrie House Hotel to get married. I also passed 500 run miles for the year.
The whole day was awesome. I did consider a blog post about how everything went, just as a reminder to my future self as much as anything else. But instead I will just say that it was an amazing day and I am hugely appreciative of everyone who was involved in organising, helping and attending our special day. Thank you so much to everyone.
Saturday we had a quiet family barbecue as we tried to chill out after a hectic few weeks.
And Sunday I was back on it. I have plenty of bike time in this week and planned for next week so I decided to just do an easy run on Sunday. My shoulder is still giving me problems when I run. .
60 miles on the bike this week puts it amongst my longest of the year. While that is good in terms of this week, it is actually a poor show for the rest of the year that just 60 miles of mainly commuting makes this a long week.
And through 500 miles running for the year. I am happy enough with that but my run volume has dropped a lot since I started my new job and the pace of the miles that I am doing is terrible. I should really stop playing pokemon during runs.
