Feeling guilty

I intended to get uo early and go out on the bike this morning but I didn't. I listened to my body and it wanted the extra hour in bed. I justified it to myself on the basis that I am taking it easy with my stained glute as I don't want to aggravate it and another day shouldn't make a difference to my fitness. However as I sit here and watch the Olympics and listen to the training regime these athletes have put in to achieve their medals (or even just qualifying) I'm feeling guilty. In 16 days I'll be taking part in a half ironman and I should be training. I have never had a DNS (did not start) or even worse a DNF (did not finish) and I don't intend to to start that now. So from tomorrow each training session will have to count, even though I won't be running till Monday to give the injury a chance to repair. So good night from a lazy b@@@@@d!
