18th week of the 2011 season


153

As usual, I have not been able to do any strength training. I tried a couple of days but my will power is not that big.

So, I started to train on Tuesday with a short brick session, a shirt bike ride of one hour and a short run of half an hour.

On Wednesday, I decided it was time to put some time on the bike and I went for a pretty long bike ride on the trainer, it was fairly long at the moment of the season that I am, 2.5 hours.

On Thursday I decided to hit the water for the 1st time since the tendinitis. I went for a 45 minutes run and then I swam for half an hour. I was ready to go slow but surprisingly I was faster than I thought. True is that I was only able to swim for 100 meters. I believe I could have swum longer but I just thought it was not appropriate for me at this moment. It was good to feel the water again and it was a very short swim, just 30 minutes of easy work.

Friday was a mess, I woke up late, I did not start training until late in the afternoon and I almost missed my 8pm appointment. I put on some two hours on the bike.

On Saturday I was upset with everything that had happened. I had a schedule to go through and I just could not make it. And at the end of the day I just thought it was too late to start training and I was too tired and fell asleep. In the meanwhile I did spend 30 minutes in the swimming pool. This time I was doing mostly 100 meters but they were technique oriented. I was lucky enough that I was almost alone and the lifeguard let me use the fins. I also wanted to do some strength training here but I just did not feel like it.

Sunday was even worse than Saturday related to my laziness. It took me the whole day to start training. I wanted to run, do some strength training and do a long ride; I knew it was too much so I ended up doing the long ride alone. Three hours on the trainer.

I wanted to start my prep phase but I was two hours short this week. I hope I will be able to train well from now on.

I have argued with many people this week. I believe I am right, otherwise I would not be arguing and I would apologize.

It is good to know that friends from cold lands are still there and they want me to visit them, not sure if it is because they feel lonely or they would like to see me but it is nice to hear that every once in a while.

I have also started a coaching course. I hope I will be completing it soon and I’ll be a coach and may be it will help me to improve my sessions.

How can I help you when my mind wants something that is my head does not or vice versa?
