So training has been basically shot to bits since New Year. The future is uncertain, but I’m going to make it to the Odyssey and have my race. And if nothing else, I’ll never have to do this workout again. Good riddance.

1 x 25 seated BB press @ 20kg
2 x 25 squats
1 x 20 box jumps @ 24″

This whole week has been a derailment as far as training goes. I’ve been in the limbo state between getting a cold (I have the cough and the ‘not feeling snappy’ feeling but otherwise fine) and being A-O.K.
Work has been … busy. Lots of latent stress. Much of it is positive, but it still burns the candle.
It’s been too hot to sleep well, I haven’t been getting to bed on time and Claire has been waking us up at odd hours and I’ve made the call not to train until I feel like there’s no danger in doing so. With the Odyssey just two weeks out it kills me to not be training, but it’d kill me more to be laid up and going backwards.
Now for the bad news:
I’m about to be seconded onto a complicated project at work that is likely to involve long hours and very probably weekends. Best case it’ll make training very hard to fit in. The worst case is that I won’t be able to make it to the event, which would suck.
My approach for now is that even if I can’t do anything except for a few sessions in the gym in the next couple of weeks, at least I might still be able to go and have a little 100k adventure in suffering. The goal posts shift, but I still get to check the Odyssey box and put a time on the board to beat in coming years.
We’ll see…

Meant to go up to the gym at lunch time and didn’t.
Work is crazy and fun and promising at the moment, but my mental plate is very, very full.

Chloe’s first birthday party out in the 37° heat (not as bad as it sounds) and then back to Mick and Jo’s for tea.

I really didn’t want to do this one but shut down the mind, walked out the back door, climbed on the trainer and got started anyway.
Turned out to be a big bunch of fun.

Workout
50 Bastards @ 12.5 kg DBs
25 Jumping Squats @ 35 kg
2 x 30 Jumping Squats @ 35 kg
Notes
Bastards = 22:10
Seems like a lot of extra time for only 2.5 kg more (per DB).
Ok so, 5 kg more, total.
Ok, 25% more.
There, I feel better now.
