Damp

I have quite literally just stepped off the trainer. If I was to describe myself in a single word right now, it would have to be Sweaty. Yep, that is with a capital S.

It has been a good day of training today. This morning I had my first run since Albany. More of a walk/run, just to get the legs moving again. It felt pretty good. I have certainly had post race runs that have felt worse. So happy with that.

Running has been a bit of a struggle of late as I have struggled to regain my mojo (I really don't like that word, but in this case it is sort of fitting). I am not really sure why to be honest, there has been no pressure on the sessions, but I would get to each one and be dreading it. This morning I just decided to enjoy myself. I still did the session, but just made the decision to not get wound up about it. I am sort of amazed, but it more or less worked. I got to the end of the run and thought to myself, it can't be that simple, but I suspect I am wrong and perhaps it is. I am sure there are going to be many more tough runs to dread coming up, but for the session today, I had fun, so I will claim that.

This afternoon it was time to get back on the trainer for some sweating, and riding. Once again it felt really good. The legs felt like they could have just kept giving. I pushed the power a little bit in the second half, but even then I felt like I could have pushed it further. It was a good session. One of those sessions that I own a trainer for. Plus, you know, sweating is fun too.

I still have a day of work to go, plus a swim in the morning, but to be honest, now that I am done with today I kind of feel like I am on the downhill run to the weekend. I usually enjoy swimming on Friday mornings, and tomorrow at work looks like it should be a low stress day, which I could do with given the non low stress 4 days I have had so far. Looking forward to a cruisy day.

But first, time for some cruisy sleep.

Well, a shower, then some cruisy sleep.
