Monday - still sick I stayed on the lounge feeling sorry for myself and missed my programmed 3 hour ride. However I did watch lots of really bad tv.
Tuesday - I joined the tri club for their Tuesday morning ride but, on the advice of my coach, didn't push it too hard. In the afternoon I hit the pool and swam 2.5km. Ouch.
Wednesday - this mornings tri club run session was a Christmas adventure race which was heaps of fun. Still coughing and spluttering I wasn't exactly the best team mate and I think we came almost last.
Thursday - day shift so no training
Friday - another day shift so no training
Saturday - my program said 2 hours of hills but I didn't want to miss the club's Xmas ride so a compromise was reached. Rob and I went out early and did some tough strength work on the big (big chain ring/biggest gear). A real ouch fest for an hour before we met up with the others for the social part of the ride.
Sunday - Xmas ho ho ho - and a rest day!!!
Hopefully I'll be back to 100% training next week.
This photo really inspires me. It's Leanda Cave being passed by Chrissie Wellington at this year's Ironman World Championships. Leanda Cave said she was running as hard as she could when Chrissie ran pass. She said she just wanted to show her respect.
Thanks kB for going to the trouble to write your blogs , I look forward to following you in 2012

Hey Cheri. It was so great to spend Christmas morning with you. After hearing about your colleague I wanted so much to give you a big hug but I could see you retreating into yourself as I think perhaps you do when you are upset. Many people do. So I tried to hug you with my words. Can I say there is NO shame in tears for a colleague who's passed... I was terribly upset by the suicide of a man who I hardly knew but who worked in the same job as I. He was talented and his death was a tragedy. He is featured on a DVD about bipolar that is shown in a course I facilitate and each time I see and hear him I have tears in my eyes. I am glad I had the chance to meet him.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to tell you how amazing you look! You have a waistline now :) How awesome is that?
I can't wait to see you "spank the mammoth" in 2012 as Horrie would say.

PS I didn't mean amazing as unbelievable... I mean amazing as in awesome feeling!
