Juggling

The morning started off in A&E with my daughter who had fallen of her trampoline the day before - we had iced it but the pain was still there.  Turns out it was broken so felling really good about that one especially as I hadn't had time to put up the safety net.  Then onto a football tournament with my son to watch parents shouting abuse at each other.  They are passed their best and really need a rest - the kids that is!
Went out for a brick (bike & run) session not feeling motivated.  However as I had very specific goals in my last major training session before Bala next weekend, my focus improved and I got stuck in.  Great bike session for 1hr 15 minutes and then straight onto the run.  It was set up for a faster than normal run and although my legs felt tired at the beginning I had a good run.  This just goes to prove that it is about your attitude and focus.  Next weeks training will be lighter as I prepare for Bala but this weekend has demonstrated the importance of mental attitude in achieving your goals.

Can't be botherd!

Started Saturday making breakfast for the girls who had stayed over for my daughters birthday.  Then off on the bike for 4 hours but I really didn't feel like it today.  As I have said before it's all about attitude.  I didn't have my usual focus when riding and bumping into my pal Jacques, who is recovering from injury, didn't help as I could have stayed and chatted all day.  But I ground it out and completed the 87 km - it is all about attitude but I didn't feel great afterwards and forgot to write up my blog!
