    During an absolutely chaotic week that saw me very very busy with stuff I really needed to pain attention to. In order to be able to do all that I needed to do I decided to cut out training. A rookie mistake. Given I'd been training properly the body has just shut down and rather than having more energy I have less. A rookie mistake.

    Hopefully its all worth it in the end.

    Glenda came down with a horrific vomiting bug Saturday. got the kids out of the house and "for a sleep over". Both so i could look after glenda and in the hope that they might not get it. I got it and was off work yesterday. So far so good on the kids getting it.

    All out of the tunnel. An unpleasant two months but its done. Where the tunnel ended I cannot say yet though :)

    Anyways the reward for getting all that done is a return to a routine and proper training.

    Monday 10th November

    A windy lunch run. Only 30 minutes. Some complaints from my rec fem and my ITB. I'm going to start a 6-8 month programme of physio guided S&C, maybe by the end of it I will be able to run 10 minutes. or I'll just get sorted in a session this week or next.

    Club swim in the evening. Head position too high in the water so will address that.

    High head position is a known issue with club-drafting-speedo-checkers

    I was leading the lane out.

    The Coach did get a little confused why I kept getting out every 25m doing some burpies and starjumps and then slapping people on the head with my knob as they went to turn.

    That explains the times, I suppose.

    We have a nice little online community here. I think its worth remembering that over time the online relationships can often turn into real friendships.

    Sometimes someone you know only from boards, and have only met a few times but talk to regularly, can do something that really makes a difference in your life.

    Someone has made Christmas in the Tunney house. You know who you are.

    Thanks!

    And it can now be discussed in public.

    During the summer I realised I needed a change in job. I started interviewing - where in my industry an interview means at least a week of preparation. An hour telephone interview, then a second hour interview. Then 5-7 hours of back to back face to face interviews. Ironically the job I took was the one with a total of three hours interviewing.

    Lots of prep, lots of stress, lots of interviews. Coupled with stress and hassle in work everything else, especially training, took a back seat. Notice handed in a while ago caused more stress but finally today everyone has been told.

    Live has returned to a new version of normality and I start in the new place in the new year. New challenges, new opportunities - a new start!

    Back to my old haunting grounds of Eastpoint. I love the running there along the sea.

    Yes not sure on whether lunch running is acceptable, will find out once on my feet - pun intended.


    Very very excited, going to be an amazing challenge and opportunity.

    I bought a Wahoo Kickr from a shop recently. Accuracy was pi$$ poor when I eventually got around to testing with SRMs. They were to send out a new "top cap" to see would that help. Then started smelling of melted plastic when in use so they are saying it needs to be replaced outright now. To be honest not sure I want another Kickr as a replacement. Good job my Computrainer never sold - back to that I think.

    Weekend in Edinburgh with the better half, great city. Cold, windy and hilly as fvck. Still got out running though.

    10km road race Saturday, not in great shape but will do my best hopefully.
    In for a procedure on Thursday. Opted for the swifter but much more painful option, see how things go. If in rag order afterwards will be staying in bed.
