Back. Again. by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details
Sporadic and patchy are the best words to summarise my training recently. It may seem like an excuse, but the lack of any bathroom facilities for over a week contributed a lot to this. I just felt so disgusting my the time I'd run 3 times with no shower afterwards and despite all the kind offers from friends and family, I simply couldn't be bothered travelling to get clean after days spent listening to drills, tile cutters and miscellaneous other noisemakers. In my defence, nor could Colin.
I didn't do the long run Sunday-before-last, or any of last week's sessions. We finally got all our new facilities installed (and they're fab) thus week, so I'm back on it and will do the long run I missed - 90 minutes - on Saturday instead of whatever's in the plan for that day.
The Great Run people keep sending me countdown e-mails that are freaking me out a bit. It's now just six weeks until the big day. On the plus side, I have regular income now, so we're also doing exciting things like booking a holiday in October. I'll be booking my CBT for some time this month as well. August seems to be an expensive month, with the cat's annual jabs and the car's MOT due as well.
I'm in a good place at the moment, very optimistic and mostly brimming with self-confidence. It's been many years since I've felt like this in a sustained manner and I think I deserve it. A huge two-fingered salute to all those who devoted so much time and energy to grinding me down. I win. Deal with it.

Apologies for all who, like me, hate text verification, but Poland is full of scum, hitting me with 10 to 20 spam comments a day and this is the only way to stop it.
