Oktoberfest

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Nothing to be envious about today - my first aborted session of the campaign I was only ten minutes in but clearly things weren't going well - this just wasn't my day. I perservered until the 20 minute mark and then pulled the plug. Not sure what is wrong... perhaps not enough sleep. Maybe too much training. Or...

maybe too much beer?

No, surely not.

In fact, my beer consumption has tapered off somewhat of late, although I have to confess it's not so much to do with discipline and self-control, as being so knackered from training that I fall asleep after one or two :o

And reduced alcohol intake is not the only positive aspect of my diet, although there again, it's more due to circumstance than will power. With spring well and truly sprung now, there is so much yummy fresh stuff in the stores that I'm back in my summer salad mode - I could live on salads quite happily if it was spring/summer all year round, so my nutrients are up and calories are down...

...so anyway, I'm still trying to be that beacon of optimism, despite the awful abortion of a session today. Oh well, I probably needed to schedule a step-back day today anyway

Doubtless tomorrow will be better.
