Week in Review: Week Ending 1st February

I should probably just get a template for these posts stating something like "Aimed to high, trained too little". So let's just take it as read that I didn't manage the early morning stuff, the long run, the swim or anything on Thursday. Wow, that was a terrible week for training, although excellent in many other ways.

Adding to the guilt is that I got back from a very fun weekend in Tenby to find a new copy of 220 Triathlon sitting on the doormat waiting to be read.  Its got a great 2015 race guide in there so may start looking at the options for the year ahead.

Also I may not be doing the Wrexham Marathon now. After the suspension snapping on the car on Friday night, I don't know if I can afford the hotel and train to get there. (I'd drive but since I fell asleep into a burger after my 1st Marathon, that doesn't sound too wise). Its still a month away so not making a decision right now but just throwing it out there. Give me any thoughts in the comments.

For Going - I've already paid, I've said I will
Against Going - Spending Money can't really afford, I'm not ready To be honest

But before I decide on that, its time for looking to next week.

Monday: 5 Mile Run
Tuesday: 5 Mile Run
Wednesday: 8 Mile Run
Thursday: Swimming, as may finally have worked out how to keep my waterproof MP3 player in my ears by then
Friday: Nowt
Weekend: Also Nowt as I've a big leaving do to go to.

See look at that managing expectations.

Week in Review and Week to Come. Sunday the 18th of January 2015

A quick update on how this week's been going. Did I manage to do what I planned?

Monday: I played Squash, so tick that off.
Tuesday: I ran my 5 Miles, tick that off.
Wednesday: Slight change of plan, I ran 5 miles rather than 8, so not a tick BUT...
Thursday: I ran the 8 miles today instead of yesterday, so tick for Wedsnesday and Thursday.
Friday: I managed to do nothing, another tick.
Saturday: Nope
Sunday: Nope.

So once again I've failed on my long run. I'm blaming this on its cold, so not headingoutside, treadmilling for this distance is a tad dull. Mainly though laziness, and a beer tasting event this Sunday. So moving on from this, what's planned for the coming week

Monday: Squash
Tuesday: 5 Miles Running
Wednesday: 8 Miles Running
Thursday: 5 Miles Running
Friday: No Training
Saturday & Sunday:  Half Marathon Distance.

Let's see how this goes.
