Review of the week and the week ahead (Late again!)

Bad Times

After a slow start last week due to a sickness bug, I got back to training on the Wednesday, 28th January, with swim coaching. This was a really good session and it felt great getting back into it.

Thursday I was intending to go to the gym but this didn't happen. Poor effort!

Friday I headed back to the pool and swam for 1.1km which wasn't too bad. I went in the fast lane and managed to keep up with some fairly competent swimmers so I was happy with that. Improvements definitely being made.

Saturday 31st January I went for an early morning run in Tenby. I ran a very hilly route which was challenging but I managed to cover 7 miles and seeing as I was suffering from a bad cold at the time, I was happy with this.

Saturday night was the night of a surprise birthday party I organised for my wife, Lucie. It was an awesome night apart from me making a complete arse of myself! (Apologies to all)
However, a top night out usually means the following day is a write-off, and boy was it a write-off!
Sunday I felt extremely rough but this then developed into quite flu like symptoms (in hindsight, running with a cold was probably not a good idea).

So far this week I have not been feeling well at all. Although on the mend now, I have decided not to partake in any training this week and start a fresh on Monday when hopefully all bloody colds, sickness bugs and general roughness has passed. I'm not happy with not training but doing so would probably make matters worse at the moment.

So, not a good week. Roll on Monday!
