I haven't been in the mood for blogging this week!
I haven't been in the mood for doing very much this week!
On Monday evening I had a great run with the Ladies from Women On The Run who managed their longest run and fastest time yet of 4.92 miles at an average 12.57 minute mile pace - and in torrential rain! I am so proud that they have the commitment to keep turning up despite the awful weather!
On Tuesday I went out for a run on my own and found it incredibly hard!
Yet again it was raining and I felt wheezy and out of breathe for most of it so not my best running experience. I managed 5.59 miles at an average 9.32 minute mile pace!
Since then I have done NOWT except work ...and cough!
I have had an incredibly bad cough all week and have felt dreadful!
I really should have phoned in sick but being a stupid woman with a strong work ethic I didn't, but every other bugger in my class (literally) did! This put even more pressure on me and then I didn't feel able to ring in sick later in the week because they were so short staffed!
I have been barking like a seal and haven't had the energy or inclination to lace up my trainers and hit the streets ... or the water!
I thought I had best avoid Open Water Swimming until I can at least breath normally again!
I have coughed so much I now have sore muscles!
Everyone is back at work fighting fit today and I'm approaching the weekend feeling like CRAP!
Who is the stupid one?
I am feeling really fed up to have some big red crosses on my training plan!
Its not like I'm just being lazy!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
