Beyond tired

I haven't blogged since last week because I've been too tired, worked long hours and have generally felt a bit run down. I did achieve the 20 miles on Saturday however took about 10 minutes longer than I hoped for. My asthma was really really bad and I had to have a lot of negative walk breaks (some even on the flat roads and not just part of the hills), so I suppose under the circumstances the run was not as bad as it could have been.

The spa weekend was fabulous, however I was so tired I couldn't be bothered to go into the heat of any of the saunas at all (I don't think Graeme could be bothered either). When it came to the meal however, we had an absolutely brilliant time. We started with cocktails in the cocktail lounge and then went on to have an amazing 7 course vegan meal, complete with Cristal champagne and a very nice bottle of red wine (the name of which escapes me). I was so drunk, by the time we got to our room I couldn't even focus on anything and ended up missing the bedside table, sending my glass crashing to the carpet and slicing a big cut into my hand at the same time.
It was all worth it though... what an absolutely brilliant, fabulous and hilarious night we had.

Since then however, I have worked, worked and worked. I didn't get home from work until very late both nights and today after not receiving aids from the manufacturer, I am now left having to do that hearing aid fitting tomorrow instead. I still haven't packed, in fact, I still haven't even got my case out yet. I'm totally disorganised and it's not like me.

I also haven't trained. Not only have I not had time but I'm just beyond tired. I felt very guilty not running today and then shrugged the feelings aside. Maybe having a few days off will do me good. I'll run on Sunday when I'm at the Cayman Islands!
I also haven't heat trained this week. It's all going a bit Pete Tong! Luckily there are only 2 more days and I can finally relax in the sun. I'd read somewhere today that it can be quite humid over there... gutted!

So, I'm not sure how the blogging will go once I'm over there. I will not be having a repeat performance of last year and coming home to a £500 phone bill, so if there are no internet cafes or hotel facilities, I may not be around until the 6th of December!
