Time for simmering opposition to break out into open violence

WEIGHT: 89.7 - Reasonable improvement, still no particular effort on diet, though marginally more conscious.

ACHILLES: Pulled up a little rough from stairs – but all good Monday, no limping.

HEAD SPACE: Laser skirmish

RATING FOR THE WEEK: 5.5

 

A good weekend to finish:

Friday
Ø  Stretch n press – flexibility is hideous at the moment, even by my own appauling standards; can’t even complete most exercises.

Saturday
Ø  Greendale + Lappo hill – stuffed. Not sure why I found it so hard, but I was shattered and asleep on the couch by 2:15.

Sunday: Bombed with hay fever and passed on club race;

Ø  AM: 4 x 6km (7:04, 6:31, 6:32, 6:45). Slight headwind which turned more cross as the session progressed.
Ø  PM: 5 x stairs. 2:48, 2:31, 2:46, 2:48, 2:53 – 2:45 ave. 5 sec improvement on last week.

What’s with spring. Mid August and its here already. I hate spring, its the universal period of conflict - sinuses collide with pollen, Penrith Waratahs junior rugby league team has its annual crowd/player brawl, Cairo divides itself into four teams of 6million to take-on each other and the military, and magpies and cyclists each start mobilising troops on the borders of the disputed territories along roads the country over.

Cyclists of course will respond with the equivalent of moving a censure motion in the UN - by putting cable ties on their helmets – embarrassingly ineffective posturing, and just another reason to hate spring.
