This past couple of weeks have mostly been good, although Linda has been working nights and 70 hour weeks. As such a lot of time has been on my own or with the kids on my own. The training plan has now completed week 3. This culminated with a 1:45hr turbo session on Zwift and a 20 min run on Saturday followed by a 1:30hr run on Sunday. 
The Zwift session was good and I passed the time watching tv. Now I never watch TV other than Sport. But I have a Netflix account that the kids and Linda use. I spent about 30 minutes trying to decide what to watch. I eventually settled on Ozark. I can’t say I’m ‘getting into it’ I found it pretty rubbish. But I’ve been assured it gets better. So I’ll give it another chance next week.
I woke up today not feeling the love. I set my alarm for 7 and it took me until 12 before I dragged my sorry ass out of bed. Motivation was zero. I half watched some football on TV but I wasn’t really into that to be fair. I just didn’t want to go run. But it was my long run today. I got my running kit on and still it took until nearly 6 before I went.
Sometimes I am less than enthusiastic about the training. But never to this degree. Usually after a few minutes I get into the run and forget about any issues and enjoy myself, but nope not today. 
I zoned out and did what needed to be done and got my run done. Eventually and slowly got to the 90 minutes. I don’t think the cold and darkness helped. Next time I feel like this I’m not sure what I have to do. But I suppose on a journey to Ironman I am going to get days like this.
