2 weeks of training as I’m too lazy to write it all down
October 1st, 2010 by adminI’m not sure that bodes well for me. I was doing so well at keeping an accurate log of all of my training. It’s all gone to pot. Not the training. That’s actually going very well. But the tracking and writing bit seems to have gone away. I’ve got to try to get back into the habit to filling this in every night but it’s feeling like a homework assignment that I just don’t want to do.
So anyway. Training. It’s been good. Very good. Most people know that, aside from the South Pole Race, I’m also training for the London Triathlon in 2011. I’m really very excited about it. It will be a big challenge, but I think I could get addicted to it pretty easily. Not the worst thing to be addicted to, right?
Over the past two weeks I’ve been concentrating on my squash and my swimming. Squash because I’m really trying to push my game up a bit, and swimming because I need to do it in the triathlon.
So the breakdown:

I need to step up my running and my weights over the next two weeks as we have the MH race in a couple of weeks and my knee is feeling better. I’ll continue swimming three times a week as well.
That’s a boring update. But I needed to get it all done on paper, so to speak.
