Burning the candle

at the beginning, middle and end. Friday night and 2 more big training days before a rest and already done about 6 hours training this week but am feeling it. Have also had 2 sessions with sports masseur and an osteopath which always makes me feel rough (all that nasty lactic being flushed out). Had another 2 days off this week as Mum still away but work is crazy at the moment so ended up on conference calls most of the time which is not good. Day off in lieu required if it ever calms down. Not sure when that will be though. The news Stateside is that Mum has broken her ankle which is a nightmare for her. It will also bring huge pressure on childcare front and the training to boot.

Need to do a long ride tomorrow and it's more than likely that Chris will have to work. Currently considering starting on the turbo at 5am but have about as much enthusiasm for that as I do for space tourism!

The brighter news is that I ran for 45 mins today. It was supposed to be 1hr 15 but I timed out so made the rest of the time up later on the turbo as Chris working. No major pain in shin or calf to report but will see how it feels tomorrow. Apparently it's caused my right leg being shorter than left and a weak sacrum. So there you have it.

Telly rubbish, Big Brother very childish (v disappointed in Vinnie Jones) and have no idea who half of them are so precious sleep and recovery for me. Thought about a glass of Chateauneuf du Pape but didn't even fancy that! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
