Time to Catch My Breath

At last .... I am on holidays :). It's been a tremendously busy year and my infrequent blogging reflects that :(. Fulltime work, part-time uni, contract work, running, home stuff, friendship maintenance etc have all kept me flat out. At no point have I found myself with any spare time; not even an hour or two. That's not to say it hasn't been a great year. In so many ways it has. I still love my job, I got 2 Distinctions and 1 High Distinction at uni, I've run some fun events, and had some lovely times with family and friends. But, I'm so looking forward to three weeks off to wind down and catch up.

Since my last blog entry I've been jogging along okay. I'm still doing modest weekly kms combined with gym work, which has kept me injury free and slowly increasing in fitness. I know that if I was doing run only training my fitness may be at a higher level than it is with the combination training. However, it could equally mean I'm injured again. Essentially, that's how it goes for me - ie, there's a very fine balance between just enough run training and too much before the law of diminishing returns sets in in the form of stress fractures. Since this weekend is the anniversary of me fracturing my pelvis while running, I know which I'd prefer :). I'm soooooooooooooooo glad not to be feeling the pain and depression of that right now :).

I'll do a 2014 year in review and 2015 preview over the next week or so. Until then ... I'm off to do some speedwork with Xmas gift buying and some endurance work with Xmas cooking. Cheers!
