Thursday: travelling back from London, got home around midnight, was gonna do an easy 5 miles, canned that idea and decided to try and get a bit of a cuddle from Mrs TbL, bad idea on both fronts
Friday: after Thursday's rest day I had planned on getting a 5 & 6 mile easy double done. Got the 5 miles easy done in the morning but I'd to go to a Connemara removal in the evening and then got tired/lazy and didn't get out for the planned second run.
Saturday: planned 12 easy. Long day in town with the kids, could go

52 miles is NOT a poor week. And that includes a couple of very good sessions. I think you need to cut yourself some slack! Part of being mentally tough is acknowledging that you've done a good job and using that positive energy as motivation

Big plus one to this. If 52 miles is a poor week, every week I've ever run has been a poor week bar one!! 0 -

Monday: worked through the night to get a project ready. No run
Tuesday: the opportunity to do 4 days skiing in Ischgl, Austria, in the same hotel as a few weeks ago game up at short notice. I nearly didn't go as I felt I needed to commit to Seville but I might never get the chance again so I spent Tuesday travelling. No run.
Wednesday: plan today called for some easy miles. I got caught to work all morning so I was stuck at a desk in the hotel room while the lad I'm with went skiing!! Eventually got out around lunch time and got 3 fantastic hours skiing done. Much more adventurous this time and I went on a hape of different slopes. Fell on my arse a fair bit but I don't have the look of an elephant cleaning windows on the top of a ladder anymore!
Got back to the hotel and the lad I'm with wanted to go to the spa. I told him they were all starkers down there and he couldn't get down there quick enough. I told I'd meet him there later as I wanted to get some miles done on the treadmill. Got down there and they now have signs on all the doors (see photo) telling you that it's a tog free zone, the bould Bogger must have caused a stir last time in my 5 inch Nikes
We sat in a steam room like a lecherous auld version of Beavis and Butthead. We were waiting for what seemed like an hour for anyone under 60 to come in and I was almost passing out with the heat and looked like a microwaved prune.
Bit puerile and secondary school like to be tittering like a juvenile at 50 but it was great crack altogether.
65 minutes easy on the treadmill, 3 hours skiing, and a heart rate tempo session in the sauna

Today the plan called for 18 mins x 3 @ 6.50, 6.40 and another 6.40.
Was up at the crack of dawn to clear overnight work e mails so I'd be able to hit the slopes very early. Got 4 hours skiing done and to be honest I was wrecked after it, after a quick lunch at a mountain side restaurant my legs had virtually seized up, I kept at it for another while but I fell a lot including one wipe out where my skis flew off and I dug a small tunnel with my chin as I careered to a stop! I think I'd only fallen once in the morning so my tired legs and Jimmy Hill like chin decided to quit while I was able.
Took a quick auld man nap and hit the treadmill, decided I was in no state to do the session and pushed it out to tomorrow. Decided to do more easy miles. Got up to 75 minutes but at this stage a couple of young wans were giving me the evil eye to get off. Got them back later as I gave them the evil eye in the sauna
80 mins easy.
I got talking to an Israeli in the spa and he had done a trail run yesterday in ordinary runners so I might try and check that out on Saturday.

The place is mad, I'm thinking of not going skiing and just spending the day in the spa tomorrow for therapeutic purposes. Three of them came into the sauna, two half draped in towels, the other one placed her towel down and lay down butt naked on it. My tongue was hanging out from the heat but I must have looked like King Leer! I went looking for my phone to call Joe Duffy (or take a sneaky photo)
I gave them a very disapproving, reproachful evil stare, that probably went on a bit longer than was necessary

you went skiing for 5 hours and then did a session on the treadmill? jeees man, one week you won't get off the couch to run the next you're overdoing it! Maybe at your level things are different but if I did that I'd (rightly) get a load of grief!! Get your head in order and you won't have a bad run in Seville (and if you could return the favour and remind me of the same come April that'd be great) 0

Character building stuff C. You got it done, it's wicked wind wise here can only imagine what Galway is like.
You took the words right out of my mouth Tang, bloody hell, character building is right. I didn't even chance Dangan this evening for fear of a tree falling on me, didn't think twice about hitting the treadmill in the gym. Hats (or beanie) off to you TBL. It will all count on the big day 0
