#32-33 - Only 12 days to go

What a disaster the last few weeks have been. Work has totally screwed up my training. I did the City2Surf and hardly move a limb for three days. I eventually mustered up 500 metres in the Cook & Phillip pool on the Wednesday. Then 1km on the Fri. And kitesurfing the Saturday. And about 400m on the Sunday.

Then #32 - the biggish run the Monday lunch time - I ran part of the marathon course - about 1.5hrs worth. Wow that hurt me a lot. So much so I didn't run again for six days. I was also working 14 hour days - up to 18 hours on two days of the last 14. FK - why do I do it to myself. Well the busy few weeks are over as of today so hopefully I can kick back for a week? Can but dream.

So I made it to Sunday alive, having fallen asleep at 8pm on Friday night. So Sunday I just had to get a decent run in before starting the wind-down 2 weeks. Laden with irony given that it's not hard to wind down from the training schedule I never quite managed to achieve. Anyway K came with me on the bike which was nice. Gave me the impetus to make it a decent run. I did 2hrs 10mins inthe end, along the Cook River cycle path. Not a bad bike ride path. As for running, I was not tired after the time but my legs were bloody well killing. So I stopped and cycled the bike back - giving K a backie.

As I say, 12 days to go....
