Yesterday saw me hitting training very hard. Bike ride in the morning with a fantastic group of ladies.. Cycling around town, sitting on approx 30km per hour, chatting the whole way makes the hour goes so very fast and I am home before I know it.
Runners club training was quite hard.. I just really struggle to get motivated for these sessions.. but then I think they are the ones I really need to do and that is why I struggle with them. But we did warm ups, then run / walk / sprint / snake / run / jog / walk.. I felt great after the session and definately pushed myself harder than I would have by myself.. Maybe that is the good thing about training like this at the moment.
Swim squad this morning and I seriously don't think I woke up until I got into the freezing water and suddenly I was instantly awake.. I have had quite bad hayfever the past few days with spring definately here in a big way.. So swimming down the lane, and I get a fit of sneezes... Picture this... trying to concentrate on strokes, breathing, lengthing my strokes.. sneeze sneeze sneeze, stroke breathe, sneeze, breathe, choke, sneeze, breathe, stroke, lengthen, breathe sneeze..
That a side I was still really happy with the session and feel like I am getting somewhere with it all. It has definately been worth the effort.
Resting now until tomorrow night when we have runners club again however as Aaron leaves for work tomorrow morning it may turn into just a run around our neighbourhood as runners club might be too hard with 3 children, homework, dinner, showers etc especially since I haven't had too deal with any of that for the past 2 months... I miss you already Aaron xxxx

Running hurts all of us "un-natural" runners - it's the bit they put at the end of the tri to make it hard. But it must be done and you'll start to enjoy it I PROMISE (i won't give you a guarantteed timeframe tho hehe). Just keep thinking.. that half marathon result is sitting just at the end of your run session... what does it look and feel like?
