Weekly Summary

Right - well this week was the week my new course got under way - and it's all great stuff :o) I'm really enjoying learning new stuff again, having my brain have to do some work, etc, and what's better is that the group seem friendly and very much up for it. There are quite a few people doing the AS and A2 in parallel.

Must confess to having gone a bit barmy to learn four or five weeks' work on Tuesday and Wednesday, so that I could be ready for the A2 on Wednesday. As it turns out it wasn't all needed, but never mind, it's work I won't need to do later.

Main problem this week was that I'm missing two body pump classes and a Pilates class (Monday and Wednesday evening), so that kills off some training, as did studying and the feeling of tiredness I had. I had planned a run with Mouse while I was down in Bristol on Friday, and then a swim on Sunday, but we had a lot to do and were awake quite late Friday night and a bit pooped. Never mind. Here's the week's training, for what it is, last week.

So - just one bike ride - it was going to be forty miles but the double tyre blow out spoilt that! I do have a plan for training this week to ensure I get in a long bike ride and a long run, plus several shorter sessions. Not quite sure I'll hit the twelve hour mark again, but hopefully things are starting to settle down and it will fall into place.

Main "obstacle" at the moment is getting this physio placement sorted - they haven't returned my calls. I'll try again today, and hopefully get it arranged - it's vitally important to the uni placement. It will mean effectively "working" full time, so training may take a bit of a back seat.

All this study, training, and socialising - how on earth do people with full time jobs manage??

Weight has gone up to 91kgs - not quite sure why, admittedly I did have a bit of a blow out at the weekend (and it was great :oD ) but even so! Anyway - one way or another what had been a consistently dropping figure a month or so ago is now wavering all over the place and not making much progress. More training this week will hopefully help - I'm not panicked about it, but it would be good to hit my target as I feel that's a good weight for competing, and once I get started on something then I'm keen to finish it off!
