The road to recovery…
Well it was a hard week last week getting back into training after a week off with a cold.
I started off okay on Monday with a hard 60 minute walk that I managed to fit in with Toby at home with tonscillitis, and a great run on Tuesday.
But it all went downhill from there.
I felt like my cold was coming back on Wednesday so didn’t risk going out in the cold and wet that night for spin class - and I wasn’t confident I could actually do it!
Thursday felt much the same, but finally managed to coax myself back onto the bike for a solid wind training session at home in front of a DVD on Friday. I did an hour which I was pretty pleased with - and I certainly felt it that night!
Saturday I had planned to swim some lengths while Mike and the boys mucked around at the pool on Saturday. I was really feeling the need to have water around me. We got to the pool only to find the pool closed!!!
Arrrgh, the elements, my body and the powers that be at the pool were all against me last week. A fresh start this week. I’m off to Auckland in the morning for a few days of meetings, so have scheduled a run tomorrow afternoon at Cornwall Park, my old stomping ground, and a swim at the Tepid Pools in town on Tuesday morning before meetings. Wednesday will be spin - and then I should be on a roll for the rest of the week. Bring it on!
