Don’t allow losses to snowball.

If I had a bad training day, i should not allow the next day to be bad. If I had a bad training week, the next week should be a great week.

This week is a good example of that. I wrote last week about how I felt so terrible about missing the long run. I was determined to fix it this week. Started off strong but I was feeling low during the week because I didn’t get in any cycle or lift. thankfully, the bike arrived on Thursday. From that night till now, I finished the week feeling absolutely strong

  • 3 swims including a record 2050m swim.

  • 3 runs totaling 34km

  • 2 cycles on the trainer.

I didn’t do a lift but I got in at least 3 sets of split squats which were my focus anyway.

Now I’m feeling very tired but emotionally in the right place. gonna have a couple of days off next week so hopefully I get an emotional lift from that


أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُم مَّرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
