Took a few days before I could write this. But I am a firm believer in the healing powers of time. The thing about this mission and training regime of mine is that at times I feel so strong and then at others I feel so weak. I don't think anyone can debate the fact that I am fit at the moment, granted one can always be fitter, but in a likert scale I'm ranking myself in the upper echelons. Anyway clearly fit doesn't equate to strength. Despite a weekly weights regime I had the most grounding, earth shattering, resilience testing moment when I failed a grip strength test on the weekend.
Now I am what one calls a 'preparer'. Casing point one, my training program. But this work fitness test, I just thought I had in the bag. Turns out I was wrong. My plate is pretty full at the moment and I just didn't factor this as a concern. Now kicking myself. But in terms of getting a grip, despite having a testified good handshake, I am determined to get a grip.
Now back to training proper, did a kick arse (feeling wise) tempo run on Tuesday and slogged out a 2.4km swim this morning. Must stop eating whatever I feel like soon though!
