Monday I came up short of my swim distance again after cramping up towards the end of the session.
Tuesday I did my first hill rep session of the year. I have been making plenty of excuses over the last 7 weeks to not do them. Dexter, flu, darkness, and so on. When I got to my hill I realised I was going to be doing reps into a headwind but I stuck with the plan. I did 6 reps on the hill. None of them were particularly quick, but I did sneak one of them in under the 6min/mile target pace that I had set for the week.
Wednesday I went for probably my last trip to the gym at work. I had set my target at biking 20 miles in an hour so I had to go pretty much full gas right from the start. I made it, but I sweated out about half my body weight trying to get there. So that is both speed targets for this week done.
I also went for a massage. Again this is going to be my last one for a while. Massages are on the luxury spending list so they are off the cards until I can find a new job.
Thursday I went out for a run round Dyce with a couple of friends. Just trying to get some comfortable miles in. Turned into my fastest 10k of February, despite being just a gentle run. This is as much a sign of how lazy Feb has been as anything else.
Friday I had some time to kill before the cinema so I went back for an extra trip to the gym while I still have access. I decided to do a very slow and lazy brick just to clear my legs out a little. I did purposefully leave the run short of my weekly total so that I would have to go out again on the Saturday and do a proper run. Then I sat on the bike for 20 minutes and read my kindle. Picked off a few more of the missed miles from my week with the flu.
Saturday I did a lazy jog round the block to get the last of my miles for this week and to clear a little of the backlog from the flu.
Sunday was my usual Sunday ride. This is the first week that we planned in advance to split into a shorter group. So I took a group of 5 on a planned 40 mile route. We left with the cloud threatening and with a bit of a gentle breeze, and came back into a fairly massive headwind. It was a good day out though.
All in, another a good week on the basic numbers but absolutely nothing on the extra sessions. From next week I should have a lot more time to pick those up.
