200 days to go!

What a week.  So busy that my blog is two days late!  I was in London for two days so the training schedule had to be amended.  On Tuesday I travelled to London and had the amazing privilege of working out in the All England Lawn Tennis Club (Wimbledon) gym before having dinner there.  In the morning I ran in Wimbledon Common but didn't get to meet a womble.
At this time of year the parties are in full swing and I had one on Friday and Saturday night.  But I stuck with my schedule with Sunday involving a 2.8k swim followed by a 15k run.  That's the longest I have ran since the half marathon in February after which my foot injury flaired up.
We're approaching the year end of our business and it's frantic.  This is a challenge we all face and it's   been a really tough time.  But it does mean when I'm training I can escape from the day to day pressures.  My focus is on every stroke in the pool, every revolution of the pedals and every step on the road.  Every sessions is one step closer to my goal.  When training I carry the picture of the finish line in IM Frankfurt in my head - 200 days to go, and counting!
