Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: An Ordinary Week

NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

An Ordinary Week

This has been a difficult week; I've had 3 really good sessions but it has been particularly busy at work meaning that I have averaged just an hour a day. In the great scheme of things I suppose I should just accept it as a "recovery" week and move on. Can't really do anything else. I am packing up the turbo today and will try and get it air-freighted home so that it will be ready and waiting for my 2 weeks POL. Yes, nearly tourex time - replacement arrives a week tomorrow and my flight home is booked for 6 Feb.

I have no idea what the scales are going to tell me when I get back, although I suspect it will be along the lines of "No coach parties"! Yes, am still struggling with the weight. I am, though, determined to be at the IS duathlon and hopefully I can sort my waistline out before then.

I reckon you only want to go to the duathlon to show off the new bits of bike bling! I won't be doing it as its only 3 days after the London Marathon and 3 weeks 3 days after Ironman South Africa. I guess I will be having an easy week that week!; 25 January 2009 at 09:01
