A chook day

I'm a firm believer that everyday is a school day, or as renamed by predictive text a 'chook' day. This week has been no different and I would say this journey will be full of chook days. Enter lessons learnt 1&2.

Lesson 1 - training programs hold you accountable, it's just that life gets in the way sometimes. The real lesson I learnt this week isn't so much that training always comes first, but that others don't put work first and I have to remember this frustration when adapting my training program. Bottom line, don't adapt training for work unless it is for my benefit. Giving up my Wednesday morning swim to prepare for a cancelled meeting was not a satisfying outcome.

Lesson 2 was much more practical and a no brainier in hindsight. Don't cut the dead skin off your toes, which has clearly been serving a buffering purpose, right before a run, ouch! 

Otherwise progressing. Have to say it is week one, but really nothing different from a normal training week, I suspect week 3-4 is where I will feel a change. 

Saw Tegan the magician as she will now be known, but only 24 hours after the fact. Because eight hours after the fact she is more Tegan the inflicter. A bit of an overdue tune up.
