Neglect

It's been quite a week so far and I'm so glad it's a rest day tomorrow! 
I had to be away from home for work reasons at the start of the week.  I got home just in time to pick my son up from school, say hello to my husband, then I was out of the door for Tuesday night's session.
We covered just over 10 miles that night and did a little more speed work than necessary as we had to get the car out of the car park before our time expired!  Perhaps we should try using that strategy at races as it did produce a fantasic sprint finish.
Yesterday was another night where I vaguely saw the family before disappearing off to the club.  We ran a nice four mile with a good hill so got to stretch the hamstrings again after Hell in the Middle.  There was a coaching meeting after the run last night and I got home at about 10:30.  As I had an early meeting this morning, I slept badly as I hadn't managed to fully prepare for it last night, so felt like death warmed up when we set off for today's speed session.
We decided not to go to the track but to do it on the local roads and we were impressed by the distance we covered in the session.  Another 7 miles done, making a total of 21 so far this week. 
I haven't had time to do any food shopping yet this week.  Luckily its amazing what lurks in my freezer which can be added to pasta/potatoes to make a meal!  As the family have been through this once, they know there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Things will be back to normal soon .... until the next race training starts!
