42 cups of tea and coffee - (Thursday 13/03)


I know now why the great British workman gets such a bad name - they spend half their lives drinking tea and coffee. Today I have single handedly made over 40 cups of tea or coffee. OK we have had two decorators, two builders fitting a new fire, a carpenter and a carpet fitter (oh and I did have a couple of brews myslef), but even so thats an awful lot of drinking.


It has been the best day of the 'house' project so far with things starting to look better all the time, the fire looks brilliant and Declan is really pleased with his new room - maybe one day in the near future our room will be finished and at last I will be able to sit down and turn on that wall mounted flat screen TV to watch football !


I've tried to take it easy today as tonights track session will be intense, but remembering also that its the last session before a 36 hour rest and then Saturday is the last 20 mile training run - I think.
Certainly the best I have felt on track for a couple of weeks - 16 x 400m with a 100m jog recovery - managed to bang them out in 89, 88, 86, 86, 86, 86, 83, 86, 86. 85, 84, 85, 84, 83, 75, 82 - we pushed it a bit on the penultimate rep as you can see - no pain in my leg which is probably down to the Ibuprofen I took earlier !
