Due to a combination of a small bout of illness (one of the many benefits of working in a hospital!) and the surprise instalment of an indoor swimming pool in my living room, the last two weeks have had practically no training whatsoever.
I had planned to have an easier week over Xmas as part of my loosely planned four week training blocks, but didn't anticipate a complete layoff from sport - unless of course you count the repeated sprint work involved when suffering from norovirus!
I'm not adverse to training in the wet, however when the wet comes into the house it makes drying off after training slightly more challenging. This was thanks to the river cuckmere flooding and expanding into my house, although we were fortunate not to have it as bad as those in the West Country, it did introduce the need to wear Wellies to go to the kitchen!
However as NYE approaches, the water has receded (for now at least), and both my lounge and body have now dried out meaning that training is back on, and tonight I eased into it with a gentle 30min run around the lanes by head torch. A rare free weekend with only exam revision on the cards will no hopefully result in a few hours on the bike to escape the books and kickstart the New Years fitness program.
