Matchsticks

Tired doesnt begin to describe how I am feeling now. Physically I dont feel too bad, still able to run, cycle swim etc competently. I mean tired upstairs. I am on my 10th of 13 early shifts in a row.

I love early shifts, you get the work over and done with and have the rest of the day to do what you want which benefits me massively for training.

The downside is getting up at 0430 every morning for almost 3 weeks is soul destroying, demotivating and leaving me liable to fall asleep at the drop of a hat.

However, two benefits of this fatigue are such:

1.) I am still going out and training, my 11 mile run on Sunday was after a 0600-1600 shift, same again for my mile swim last night. This shows my determination isnt waivering with my sleepiness.

2.) Training whilst mentally tired is getting my body adjusted to functioning whilst lacking in energy, its good impromptu endurance training.

Gym tonight, its been a week since my spinning class and I missed it on Monday thanks to the bank holiday so its the bike and treadmill tonight. Will have some company though as my friend is going through her induction to inflict more of the same on herself.
