Training Log Archive: Dooby

Starting to improve, but very slowly. Cold about gone by now. Last of the drugs today so only 24 more hours of having to deal with awkward blood sugars.

Plan for the week:

Monday - Ill
Tuesday - Ill, but gotta head home after work for a removal
Wednesday - Probably rest as won't be right
Thursday - ? Hopefully something
Friday - ?
Saturday - Crohane, a few last bits to check
Sunday - Orienteering (Inch)

So this week depends on how soon this chest clears. Would like to go orienteering next weekend, fingers crossed that KerryO get their hands on the new map, would be weird running on the old map when there is a new version.

There might be some improvement but nothing significant today. Definitely no running anytime soon:-(

Going to head home for a bit today, Giro TTT for the afternoon I reckon, mixed with some hurling if it's on TG4.

Stayed to watch the changeover from 2-3 in Tiomila. Looks like some effort by Thierry on the last leg, catching Olav for 3 and then putting 3 into him, will he run long I wonder in Finland?

Event: Irish Orienteering Championships
 

Probably some improvement today but not a massive amount. Still got a cold so sniffling a bit. Will do a bit of Tiomila watching today. WebTv not too good on my computer, need to find better broadband.

Seem to be losing weight while not training, can't be good!

Chest still in trouble. Maybe some minor improvement today. Still got a slight cold too. All related to this chest infection, which is a viral one.

Got 2 more sleeps before Sunday, and if I feel better then, I might make the trip to Galway for the AGM and to take part in the relays. Would like to be optimistic and think that this will happen, looking after myself, taking my drugs and going to bed early (might be hard on Saturday night with Tiomila on), but will need serious improvement for it to become reality.

My goal for the Irish Champs this weekend was going to be 1-1-1, but it's now going to be DNS-DNS-DNS.

Despite having a good nights sleep i'm tired this morning, lacking energy. At least the sore throat has cleared up. Chest may have improved but i've made another appointment with the doctor for tomorrow morning, check on if i've recovered. Really disappointed that there has been limited improval since Friday.

I must admit that Magic's log brought a smile to my face this morning. I do need something to cheer me up, throat is still sore and hard to tell what way the chest is, probably some improvement, but would prefer more dramatic improvements, like say going to being 100% fit overnight.
