I hate school....

..well the first 2 weeks....well okay that a combination of life situations.

After a nice week of training (just under 90 miles) the 2nd week of school came about and with it came unexpected situations. On Monday we had our first real Xc school practice and I came home exhausted. I fell asleep for an hour and when I awoke I figured after hitting over 2 hrs the day before and not having taken a day off over the last few weeks I would take one off. This wouldn't have been a big issue except that i found out late Mon night that we had to do our paperwork for our new summer place onj Tuesday night or wait another week. I had planned on getting in some decent longer intervals with the lads, but that went out the window (I ended up doing my more traditional hills circuit buildup session).

In 20/20 that wasn't an entirely bad thing, but I forgot that Julie had bought us Keith Urban tickets for Wed night so that made a 3rd night of just getting some basic training. Once again not a big deal as I got in a 10 miler, but on Thurs we had our first school XC meet and I didn't get home til after 6 and fell asleep at 7 and woke at midnight....yeah so much for the planned short fartlek.

Another day off meant my already planned won week was simply going downhill. I rebounded today with a nice 18km run on Fri an 8km morning run and a nice 'tweener' fartlek session On Sat night. if the legs feel decent then I will try for another 2 hr easy run......if not then a shorter run and another session later Sunday (hopefully the gym)....


Here's to some more routine next week...no reason for it not to be back to normal.....at least this week was supposed to be easier......
