Catch up.....

I have been running, honest. Have been ill this week, so time at home has mainly been spent asleep, but here I am....

Monday

Work (gym) was surprisingly calm, not too many inductions, taught a couple of classes including a new pilates one- had been nagging a lot of the members to come, and couldn't believe it- everyone who had promised they would come actually came!!! 18 in the class, which is too many for a pilates one really but didn't want to turn anyone away- complete mix of abilities, slightly awkward that 13 of them hadn't done it before, nearly all of our pilates and yoga classes are early evening, and this was the late crew, so was new to them. Everyone ok tho, always a bit hard with the Koreans who don't speak any English (and that's about 70% of them, honestly...) but everyone seemed happy enough and promised to come back. Easy 4 mile run was done on the treadie- 4 miles 35 mins was the plan- did it in 34.46, 8.41mm, so that was fine. Also did body pump in the morning to pump some iron.

Tuesday

Pretty hard session in the morning-

1m jog
3 x 1.5M @ 7.20mm (800 recovery between each)
1m jog

not sure how fast 'jog' is. slow on the schedule is 9mm, so think 'jog' might be about 9.30?? thats a guess tho really- any suggestions?

Also did a pilates class afterwards to stretch a few things out.

Sold a couple flats in the afternoon, and was starting to feel well iffy by this point, but dragged butt to orchestra rehearsal in the evening. There's another girl playing oboe now too, but 3 flutes were missing, so it meant that I got to stand in there- might be a permanent move, its just so natural and effortless, could do with that at the mo.

Wednesday

Definitely ill, managed half a day at work then had to go home, tonsils like footballs and general real achiness all over/ temperature bla bla bla. Meant I missed the run. Not good news, but sensible I spose.

Thursday

Phew, back to today. Feeling bit better, did last nights run this morning (6m, 53 mins)

6 miles, 52.55 8.49mm.

Was done on treadmill so could hit stop if felt crap and coz its like Force 1567544 gale outside. Would have been completely erratic. Did it on 1% incline to try and make up for that.

Tried to take the spinning teaching easy, abs class was a good workout for myself!! Then ran this evening after work to get todays run in (yes, I know this is not ideal, and you are supposed to just let it go if u miss a session, but I honestly felt ok to double it today..)

1m jog
2 miles brisk @7.30mm
1m jog

Felt easy enough actually, so glad I have done them both. Tomorrow is a scheduled rest day, and wanted to keep it as that, tho am doing spinning a few times, but will just have to keep resistance down to a minimum....

So, feeling physically better, but still, well, depressed as f**k I guess is the description. Can't seem to snap out of it, but I seem to be still just going on... all just feels pointless and that i'm very just going through the motions, but hey ho, apparently it gets better. Sometime.
