Every step counts

It's been a hard week with the last two days in London so when the alarm went off at 6am I didn't feel like getting up.  I actually thought of turning over but I new I'd have to face my coach so fell out of bed just to be reminded we still didn't have any central heating - week 3!  Once I was in the pool I was fine and set about my programme.  It was a relatively short session, 1,500m, and by the end I wanted to go on which was a good sign but I stuck with the programme and got out the pool because I knew I had another session later.
After a full day of meetings I got home thinking I had a 30 minute turbo session but on looking at the schedule I discovered it was a hour session.  I really was tired and didn't feel like it but was determined to do it.  After getting ready I noticed I had a flat tyre!  The perfect excuse not to train and I needed to be finished quickly so we could organise dinner.  But with an understanding wife and the tyre reflated 1st time I jumped on the bike and knocked out the 1 hour session.  I felt so good afterwards, full of energy, that I had completed the training and was now ready for dinner and relaxation with the family.  There are always reasons or excuses not to train but every session counts as it's one step closer to my objective.
