Where do I start?

Well after the inital euphoria of the 40/40 Challenge, the last week has been a bit of a drag, not becuase I'm not pumped about it or that I'm losing heart because I'm not. It's just been one of those weeks where nothing seems to have gone right. after my training session on Monday and climbing on Tuesday I felt a "twinge" in my arm so decided not to risk it until it had sorted itself out so have been unable to do any major training, just a few push ups, crunches and leg work until it had settled. The weather on the Island has been pretty poor all week, with icy roads and constant warnings about not driving unless absolutely necessary, so have been unable to get to the gym for cardio work, and then today it looked bright enough so decided to go for a bike ride. All was fine until I turned round and started to come back, straight into the wind. Not pleasent cycling into a headwind which was freezing, and rain bouncing off your cheeks, so as I went past my house decided to call it a day. So after this weeks total disaster let's hope I can up my game next week. Only 5 weeks for the "Mud-n-Fun" run so need to work it out.

    Frigid here, too... so cold that running's happening at the indoor track right now. But a friend in Australia just told me it was 109F his way today. So I'm thinking cold/snowy/rainy isn't so bad, you know?

    All the same, here's to a better week!!
