A week of no excuses

After stuffing around and hiding behind some very weak excuses for missing training sessions the time has come to stop stuffing around. Which is why I am hence forth officially declaring this the 'week of no excuses'. The plan as predetermined by the world of joined conversations. commonly referred to as Twitter, is to miss no sessions this week. To make sure that every session planned is competed (as opposed to started). To get back into a rhythm of training tired.

To make sure this is achieved the key to success is to tell no one of the planned sessions. For it is internal feedback that is all I need. So a public commitment to a hiden plan is the platform for success in this week of significance to Australia.

If you see me sitting with my head deep down in a schooner of lemonade Sat night you will know the reason, or reasons as the case may be. You may just find me half way in or balancing tentatively on the lip. either way you will just know.

Monday 16th August
Session 1 in the week of no excuses, a 34 min 15sec run from the Mansion on on Marshall with Dr Phil. Back into short running tights for the first morning since the change. Though accompanied by thermal and beanie. Looped round the extended home run trail as per mapped runs. Some rolling hills and plenty of side streets. Much fun. Hope the good Dr's foot has not blown out again.

Session 2 for the week of no excuses, a solo expedition through espresso run in 27mins 27sec's. Had no plan of pushing and ran well within myself. This is a short day of short comfortable sessions not a day to wipe myself out for the rest of the week. Very happy with the time given the eased nature of perceived pace. Always a joy to run to Ms L Allen.

Session3 and the last for the first day of the week of no excuses. A rapid turn around from espresso run to grab the swimming stuff and head to the woods for 1500m swim with sleep Train. Might I in the process of full disclosure here indicate I never actually swim with him. More he graces us brick like swimming plebs with his presence in the lane, kindly no kicking me in the face as he laps me again. Was toying with adding an extra 500m but foot cramp reminded me that this is the first week back. Build it and it will come. Spent 1000m of swim with pull buoy to give legs some time out.
