Resting HR (average): 56

Injury status: Slight Left calf tightness

This was a bad training week, but a good chance to earna rest. Well at lest that’s what I call it! It’s more positive than saying I was lazy!

Monday morning, because we were in Sydney for business, it was nice to sleep in and I didn’t feel like running around a new area considering we were so tired.

We flew back into Brisbane, on the last flight back. As we didn’t get to bed until after midnight, the next day was a write off.

The rest of the week has been a struggle. I really struggle when I lose my routine. I had been going so well. One of the factors has been the weather. It’s been 30-35 degrees in Brisbane (It’s going to be a scorcher of a summer), which makes it really difficult for me to sleep. If I don’t sleep, it’s tough to get up at 4 or 5am to train. Because I’m so busy during the day with our business, the training is then hard to fit in.

I did manage 15km on Saturday and a short cycle while watching the rugby. Sunday was the Bridge to Brisbane, so I took Rheanna to that very early, meanwhile my own body was stiff from my Saturday run. Next week it’s gotta be a full week and some high miles again. September has to be a tough month, and now the real pain begins…
