My commuting week was as dull as ever. I managed to add some smaller sessions to the evenings through the week to try and make the most of the nicer weather.
Saturday I went to the pool and was too exhausted to do anything more than a lazy 10 minute paddle. Another jog with Dexter didn't go any better.
Sunday was a waste of a day. I woke up with an allergy related migraine. After a large handful of painkillers and ant-histamines I tried yoga in the morning and went out for a jog but couldn't finish either and had to stop on the run to throw up.
This week has been a bit of a setback. The damage I did to my hamstring at the weekend has eased gradually through the week but is still not completely clear and the only runs I have managed were short, slow jogs with Dexter. And I skipped my first planned outdoor swim on Sunday in favour of spending almost the whole day napping.
I have again had good weeks for bike and swim volumes but commuting is just keeping my basic cardiovascular fitness ticking over and stopping my weight from ballooning. It isn't really adding anything. Swimming I seem to have run into a plateau on speed.
Basically I am now fed up with rehab.
