Just give a sligth insight in the day of 2008 Paul

Gets, up and re-alizes he is still not motivated to jump out of the bed, commute to the club and freeze his balls of on the water. But the temperature is probably not the issue…the erg is calling and I’m giving her the finger from the bed…

But, I do manage after lots of snoozing and seeing Louise head of on her morning walk to the office to slip into my really smelly running gear and go for a 30 minute run. I know, this is not my style and it is something new. 30 minute jog. I never thought I could do that. 80 minutes of pounding hard is more my style. Admitting it is not the smartest and best way to train,…it is what I am good at sort of..working way to hard way to long. Screw the schedule.
Anyway, I now got this cosy new routine that I call the 4 summits run. It sounds awesome eh?! But is no more than a very nice little jog from my bed, out the door, to the left, into the bushes and a long the cliffs by the lake. It is all offroad and goes over 4 high cliffs giving a superb vieuw over the lake and into town. THis morning I saw the sun come up there.
SO, than I hurry to work. I took the car yesterday. When I got in I realized I forgot something so I parked in front of my door…ran in…. got stuck in front of a computer for 5 minutes and ran out again..DAMN…where is the car. I must have looked pretty damn stupid…but the car was gone. Ok, Call the bloody police. Took the scooter to work instead. Not all great in these slippery conditions. Second time I got the car stolen. Shit what are they going to say at work…. Today and yesterday have been pretty hectic at the office. Even though I sit there totally by my self right now, wich really sucks I am doing a lot. I sold for about 160.000€ today and yesterday so it is good action! I tear of from the office at 18:00 and scooted my way to the club to do an erg session with Ruairi and a new German guy. 4 x 10 minute pieces rating 24, 24, 26, 26 at around threshold pace. A serious workout that really demands focuss and comittement. We hammered of and I felt pretty ok. I pretty much can feel where threshold pace is as the legs start burning slightly when going over the limit. I ended up with a score that just confused me. 1.41,1 - 1.41.0 - 1.39,2 - 1.39,3 avg on the four pieces. Yeah…what does this tell me?…That I am in better shape than last year???? Than training less is better??? that I should have my ass on the water more??? aaaah confusing…
Well, than it is of home quickly and meetup with Louise and cuddle up for a lazy rest of the eavening.
The next day is waiting. A tiring factor is that I’m also dug deep into a new Clive Cussler book. Damn things keep me awake…one more chapter. I am positive that Clive secretely knows me or something since he based he main characters on me… (my illusion…)
Tonight we are of to Bosön to lift weights and do short sprints on the track…good fun….rowers running on a track. It is not pretty.. I promise.
While most of the day all is black outside I try to keep the sun shining on the inside…not always the easiest of tasks when people are taking your car, breaking into your house, freezing your world around you and refusing to supply daylight.

Keep fighting y’all

Paul
OOH yeah…I am on FACEBOOK now…tried to resist as long as possible and totally am against it, but it probably is a good thing.
