Holiday Fatigue

It turns out that one of the guys in my meeting today was a former Ironman and marathon runner, although he has now been forcibly retired by his doctor who has advised him not to run any more. His wife has since passworded their computer so he can’t enter any more events.

The other chap had a running history or rather his father was famous for taking a ten mile short cut in the London Marathon.

I emerge from the meeting and immediately start sounding like L because I’ve not been able to get to the gym. This is even more frustrating when you’ve just lost a day of your five day free gym pass. It was a hugely infuriating meeting anyway as I’d found out all I need to know within half an hour but everyone kept on talking for another three hours. At least I’ve come on the bike today, so have got some training done.

Tennis/squash opponent pulls out of tonight’s game claiming fatigue after his holiday. Honestly, you’re supposed to come back from holiday refreshed and raring to go. It would have had to have been squash anyway as the tennis centre is again closed. This time for a wheelchair tennis tournament.

Essential Nutrients

On the bright side, at least with not playing squash yesterday my legs seem up to cycling again today. So I do a third day this week on the bike. I hope my doctor is impressed. Surely 90 miles cycling in four days will have scared off some of my cholesterol?

L says I should be taking it a little bit more seriously and perhaps attacking it from more than one angle. She say she'll get me on the red wine tonight, for prophylaxis obviously. She does look after me.

Only one glass though. Then I need to be on the beer for the iron and other essential nutrients.
