Today was Day 24.
This is an early post this evening as I feel I am due for an optimistic day and there is huge potential for a downside later this evening.
After a decent run and an ok swim training session last night I was expecting to be on a post-exercise downer this morning which never arrived. I didn't get much sleep last night, but it didn't seem to affect me at work today. Weight loss is back, but I think it is just because of reintroducing training without a corresponding increase in diet.
This is meant to be a positive post though so let us get back to the reasons I am approaching a smile this evening. Since I got home from work I have made dinner, and am hungry enough to want to eat a second meal in a day. I have also had a good hour with the video camera and my bike. I have altered my set-up quite a lot based on the video of my position, hopefully will see some gains when I race it on Thursday evening.
I met with a friend from running today. I feel I am physically ready to return to training properly and all that now stands in the way are the emotional and mental issues. I had expected that my request for her to act as a human email system would require some effort on my part to convince her but she seemed quite keen to help resolve the issues in an amicable manner. I outlined my suggestions for at least a short-term resolution and she accepted that they were fair and that I was being as reasonable as I could be. She is going to put them forward this evening but she was honest enough to admit that just because I am being reasonable, doesn't mean I will get a reasonable response.
Today still is day 24.
PS As predicted the banana survived and has made it into tomorrow's swimming kit.
