This morning I woke up with dread for the day. After a few days off work I didn't want to go back... plus my last day there was awful, so I was dreading to see what I would be walking in to.
The truth is, it was quite a good day all in all... I had a couple of good sales, I had a laugh with Helen (my receptionist) and when I came home, my book had come from Amazon that I have been waiting for for weeks (Dean Karnazes, Run). I absolutely love how he writes... full of pain and emotion... just how a great race report should be written!
After being told I couldn't do any running until at least Saturday (and barely any sort of cross training either) I have felt very miserable. I don't know what it is, but when I do no training I don't sleep as well, food isn't as enjoyable and I seem to get very lethargic and don't want to do anything at all. William and Shaun had said I could cycle, row and do weight training, core, etc... so tonight I came home and did an upper body weight session. As I'm writing this my arms are absolutely killing so I worked hard. Tomorrow I'm going to go to the gym and do some rowing and cycling too. It's not as enjoyable as running though! At least by Friday the patch on my foot can come off and I can do some deep water running! I'm dying to see how much more difficult it will be when using ankle weights... my kit has been in the car and ready to go since Monday... roll on Friday afternoon!
