The Silver Surfer has had a tough week!

Doc Chalmers:

Just been one of those weeks. According to my wife I live on the 'edge' and by this she probably means the 'edge of sanity'! I’m currently feeling TATT (Tired All The Time) due to over exertion, and that message from R Coleman doesn’t make me feel that much better. Does he mean 40 mile runs or 40 mile total weeks training? To summarise one of those weeks:

HIGHS: The Mighty Mariners are pretty much safe unless we lose and Chester score 'shed loads' in their last match and we got Project 65 published in both local papers.

LOWS: Chased by cows when out running with my mates from 'Wolds Vets',; got totally frozen on Saturday doing a dock swim and had to help in rescuing an 'open water virgin' who had a bit of a 'paddy'; tried to find some soft ground for off road running in the afternoon when I’d thawed out but instead the bridal path I used was bone hard, heavily rutted and can best be described as a 'leg breaker'; a triathlon planned for Sunday as a bit of light relief was changed to a duathlon at short notice due to someone doing 'floater' in pool and hence water quality was somewhat suspect; tried to speak to Dan C in the evening about how his training was going and he had disappeared off 'clubbing'; and finally, there was the swim set today given to keep us quiet - a total horror with 3 lots of 100m individual medley swims as a small part of 1800m main set. The warm up/down was 650m.

Oh, and I haven’t even mentioned work!

But what the hell you’ve got to see the funny side, if the lows > highs this week maybe next week it will/must be better! Just 5 weeks to go and stay injury free. Weather picked up as I longingly look out of the window between seeing patients, so off on the bike for a leisurely spin this afternoon....
