Taking things for granted

Having no electricity for 60 hours made me realise how we take things for granted.  Like waking up to a warm house or switching on the kettle.  When I arrived home last night the house was lit up like a Xmas tree and life returned to normal, after clearing out the food from the fridge and the freezer which was beginning to smell!
This morning I went out a run before my swimming session.  Because I am coming back from injury this is only my second run and I kept it to half an hour.  But the conditions were dodgy with a heavy frost and in some places ice to contend with.  It was a joy to be back running, I'd really missed it.  It also made the swim session a bit tougher as I already had a work out by the time I reached the pool.
Tonight I am seeing my physio to check my knee and then my coach to go over my results and make adjustments where necessary and make sure I am on track for Lanza.  This will be followed by a turbo bike training session so I should sleep well tonight!
