Monday was shocking weather for my commute and I had to resort to the mountain bike purely for safety through the puddles and potholes. Despite 5 layers, two of which were supposedly waterproof, I arrived at work drenched. I had to wring out most of my clothes and even hanging them for 8 hours made no difference and they were still soaked through and freezing cold when it came time to ride home. Neither ride was particularly enjoyable but I survived both.
Then I went to swimming, which was crap.
Tuesday I had a strange day at work which meant it was easier to work from home in the morning. That removed my commute. I did a jog round the block instead just to do something in the morning.
Wednesday the morning weather was less ridiculous so I took the winter road bike for my commute in. By 4pm it was back to full autumn conditions and a near drowning on the ride home.
Thursday the forecast was for snow in the morning so I planned to run instead of cycling. The forecast was wrong, again. It was chilly but dry, but I still struggled to run. In the evening I went to bucksburn with the simple plan to swim for an hour. I did just over 2 miles for my longest swim session of the year.
Friday morning I went for another swim. Struggled to 1,300m in 200m blocks in 40 mins. Less than 12 hours between sessions wasn't the brightest idea.
Saturday I was beyond exhausted but about lunchtime I dragged myself away from my Punisher binge-watching for an hour to go and collect some pokemon. After watching a bit of the Scotland-Australia rugby (I gave up when it got silly after the red card) I managed to force myself into a stretching session. I also went through a chunk of building my plan for next year.
Sunday I went for an easy early morning swim. Then did a lazy day with a couple of DIY jobs and a bit of yoga.
