Not sure why, but sleep has become something of an issue for me in recent weeks. I suspect it has mainly been due to the weather (hot and humid) or maybe I have some kind of bug. Either way, it's left me tired, befuddled and heavy of leg. An attempted 8km yesterday was no more than a travesty of 50 metres or so before the legs union went on strike and the brain management had no alternative but to cave into the workers' demands for a day off. And so it came to pass that the first major dent was punched in the training calendar.
Still, it's no great loss. A decent sleep will put it all right and we'll be back on track before you can say
left wing trade union factionalism.
