Yesterday's training dilemma proved a bit of a moot point: Sunday's race is cancelled due to the weather. As a result I can get back to the plan. Pretty much.
Yesterday's hill repeats at the gym were fine. Even the dreadmill was tolerable. Mind you, I hadn't checked the plan beforehand and assumed it would be 6 x 90s @ 6:47 sandwiched by an easy 1.5 miles warm up and cool down. Looking at the plan last night I realised it should have been 120s.
Never mind. It may well even turn out to be a blessing as I'm swapping today's planned cross training for tomorrow's 6 mile interval run i.e. 2 hard runs on consecutive days. Then on Saturday I'll do 6 miles at base pace in the morning then resistance training and some weights in the afternoon (with a smidgen of cross trainer and swimming). Wonder if the pecs and triceps will be as sore? On Sunday I'll do 12 miles along the canal.
Diet was fine yesterday too. I think I went over by about 10kcals. I'm pretty sure I can live with that. Result is that today's weigh in marked the rest of the loss of all the apparent gain from Monday and Tuesday's excess with a little extra to boot. The objective of being below 12st by Christmas Eve's weigh in looks quite achievable - I'm a day's loss ahead of that target.
In other news...we're putting the tree up tomorrow and the kids are VERY excited.
And so am I. :-)
