Monday, first day back at work. Managed to get my yoga in beforehand due to a later start on day 1. I also managed to turn my ankle whilst trying to put a box in the car. Then I needed a nap when I got home because I was absolutely shattered. After dinner I still felt like I could just go back to bed but I did drag myself out to swimming. It was an ok session but my ankle was bothering me out of some of the turns.
Tuesday I didn't have time for yoga before work. By the time I got home I was completely empty again. Also my ankle was still quite painful so I decided to be sensible and call it a rest day.
Wednesday I survived work in a much better state. As my better half was having her first day in a new job I was on cooking duty when I got home. Then I managed to sneak out for a jog while she had a nap. My ankle is still not quite right so the pace was terrible. It doesn't fill me with confidence for Huntly.
Thursday I decided another test run on my ankle was in order but this time I put a tubigrip on it and tried a flatter surface. Much better results but still aches. Should be fine by race day.
Friday my new garmin cadence sensor arrived so I fitted that and went for a test ride. Apparently I hadn't fiddled enough with the software though so it didn't actually work. I did an easy lap around the airport and then reset all the software and retested it in the kitchen.
Saturday I got up in the morning and did an easy 20 minutes of yoga. Then I tried to be as lazy as possible for the rest of the day. A trip to the shops and a Nandos for lunch was the highlight of my rest day.
Sunday was Huntly Standard which will get a report to itself.
Fortunately I went in to this week so far ahead of my targets that I could have had a total rest week and still been ahead. Huntly also meant that I would get half the weekly totals in one day so the rest should have been easy enough to get, even around work.
I have passed 600 running miles for the year, 80 swim miles and 1,800 bike miles. In any normal year I would be happy with those numbers at the end of December.
Target totals - Swim 1.5 miles. Bike 45.0 miles. Run 14.0 miles. 2 short core, 1 short light weights and 2 short stretching sessions. 60 mins of yoga.
