Tough but rewarding week at work but only once to the gym . Should of done 60 minutes of Fartlek training - yep...Fartlek - a Swedish word to mean running fast, slow,fast, slow to develop stamina....nothing in the tank and I only achieve 40 minutes. Lisa's training seems to be coming along - she is focussed and had a good run at the weekend with her Brother in Law.
Friday comes, Ron Hadaway's leaving bash - a legend in our business for 14 years who is taking early retirement. Nip to the gym and do an hours run before showering and catching up with Ron and everyone for a drink.....LOVE THIS CHAP....real quality man.
I'm on the waggon until the Marathon.....everyone is quickly half cut and I offer myself up as the taxi man for the evening !
Saturday, Isabelle and I hit the park for the afternoon, babysitter then arrives and Lisa and I are off to Ade's 40th in Town...good fun and another Lime and Soda night !
Sunday morning we have breakfast together and I'm back at the gym. After 50 minutes I hit the know, familiar wall of boredom and belief.....just make the hour I tell myself and start again. I do but I'm f*cked ( apologies Mum ! )so reduce the gradient and the speed down to 9.5km/hour.....just make one and a half hours - you've done it before so can again I tell myself.....then 5 minute chunks....1.35,1.40,1.45 and I have that faint and dizzy feeling of last week. What's 15 minutes ? I tell myself - come on you can't give up now.....and then you now your going to do it and your body kicks in again and I increase the speed for the last couple of minutes.
My t-shirt is totally soaked...not a pretty site, quick shower and back home to chill and relax with the family........Lisa makes her best Sunday Roast ever....the girls learning !
