My week started with two tough commutes. The road was damp and the constant drizzle made it hard work, but on top of my depression and sleep problems over the weekend it was all I could do to get to work and back.
I went to swimming but it was a total waste of time. I tried to warm-up but my ankle and foot were swollen and cramping. Then I found out the main session was all pack swimming for outdoors and there is no way I am swimming in a pack and risking contact on my ankle. So I got out and went home. Waste of an evening, should have just gone to bucksburn and done my own session. In future any week when the session isn't out before I leave home I am not going, and any week that the session is out in time but doesn't suit me I am not going. This has been a while coming, but I have again reached a point where I am fed up wasting my time and petrol on going out to Inverurie for sessions that aren't adding value.
Tuesday I went to Drumoak for a 10-mile TT on the 'fast' course. Unfortunately some roadworks meant it was cut to just 8.6 miles. I did manage to get round that at an average over 20mph, so still improving, but not anywhere near close to a good time.
Wednesday I jogged in to work, about 3 minutes faster than last week.
Thursday I took the winter bike for my commutes, and the pace was reflective of that change. It is in a terrible state and needs more than just a service to make it sensible to ride.
Friday I did my commutes back on my summer bike, and intended in the evening to catch up on smaller session to free up some time at the weekend. Instead I watched Portugal vs Spain and fell asleep on the sofa.
Saturday I did the falling asleep in front of the football part first, this time during Argentina vs Iceland. This is the second weekend in a row where I have crashed so heavily. I may need to adjust my caffeine intake at work again to try not to have such issues at the weekend. I did manage to drag myself out for a jog after I woke up. I did at least manage to stay awake for long enough to do core and stretching sessions before bed time.
Sunday I went out to Knockburn in the morning for a couple of easy swim laps and then an attempt at a slightly longer run at a decent pace. In between World Cup matches I decided to sneak out for another run round Dyce. In the evening I did a yoga session.
Not a bad week but the ankle swelling is worse again and I spent another weekend randomly falling asleep.
