managed doubles both sat and sun, but right ankle still feels like it's very weak. shin a little weird when running... tight... achilles still sore. 64 mile bike ride on sunday. good to get out and exercise for hours rather than just an hour.
bought new shoes too - wilson fitted me... great to catch up with him. got Asics Landreth II... lightweight with no motion control/stability but lots of cushioning. trying to stick to trails too for the next couple of weeks. and getting back close to a weight I can run with. Right now I feel like I'm carrying a tire on my back whenever I try to run intervals. need to lose about 10-12lbs in the next month so I don't have to think about weight anymore. nice and slim before I get fit and fast and healthy to go to kenya and make the most of that month's training.
going to disappear to a coffee shop tonight with a training book and pages of a diary and work out a training schedule for the next 4 months through to New York... If I can see it all on paper then I'll be more disciplined about the rest days and down weeks.
glad to have got in 60miles plus last week. looking forward to more of the same this week. taking tomorrow morning off. going to gym to exercise bike and seeing the PT lady in the afternoon to hopefully work her magic on my right ankle/achilles/shin.
according to this personality test, I have a high amount of confidence.
