Training Fail!

I haven’t blogged for almost a week now and I have probably trained less. I feel pretty crap about my lack of effort and I have had to give myself a good stern telling off about it.

First of all last week it snowed a lot on Monday so I evacuated Telford before I got snowed in. Tuesday was a similar story so I aborted any ideas of working out and fled home again.

Wednesday I had booked a day off work as there were a few things I had to get done in the afternoon. I did however have the morning to myself so I headed in for a post breakfast session.

It was as good as a week ago (must remember to keep this blog updated) so I can’t really remember what I did exercise wise but I do know that I didn’t really have the stamina for a heavy session in the gym and after about an hour of hauling weights around I gave up and headed for the pool. I did have a good hour long swim though.

I have tried to work out a few times in the morning and it just doesn’t work for me I don’t know if it is too close to breakfast or my body isn’t really prepared for working out in the am but I do seem to get more done in the afternoon.

Since Wednesday though I haven’t done anything at all. illness took me out of action for Thursday and Friday, Saturday we had a collection of small domestic disasters which saw us emergency shopping several times (though dashing around Sainsbury’s at one point I did get gifted a free Gillette sports water bottle which is going to get christened at the gym tonight) and on Sunday the wife and I went to London to take in a show, that was a long 20 hour day by the time we got back home, which meant that Monday I was shattered and had an early night.

Here I am at Tuesday now ready and keen to get back at it. I am going to get myself back into the routine though so I will have a good session tonight, Wednesday I will have my prescribed day off and then back at it Thursday Friday.

My ankle also no longer aches so I am going to try the treadmill again. Gently.
