PHASE II AS GOOD AS IT GETS DAY 45

PHASE II A.G.A.I.G DAY 45

Thursday, a work day, so breakfast, drugs and crank up the laptop. The IT is still not working as it should but eventually I get to meet with my colleagues for the morning meeting. We try to clarify where we are, how the EE world is and what knowledge we have to pool. In the end we know we can only wait and hold our counsel till others have had their conversations. I have time to write a brief letter in the shed before my next meeting. My IT continues to play up but I get in to my meeting after some fiddling with the tech, much to my relief. It is a quirky session from my point of view but the content was good and I hope useful to the participants.

I decide that our cash deposits are low and head for the local supermarket and its ATM. The car park is all but empty, no one around, its a strange feel. I use the ATM and head back home. I have to psyche myself up to get ready to train. I am finding it increasingly difficult to motivate myself lately but remind myself that this is medicine and climb into my gear. I head to the garage and decide to row at a higher level today. I adjust the machine to a heavier resistance and go for a rugged half hour. As I pulled myself through the time a friend rang and due to the wonder of technology I could have the conversation via my head phones and continue to row. Everyone I know at the moment seem to be cramming more and more into their lives just to keep things going. At the end of the conversation I continue my row and set a new personal best for the time at this level of resistance. The numbers are telling me I am getting fitter and my resting heart rate is decreasing in line with the fitness. I am trying to make the most of this weeks training as Monday is 28 day jab Monday, which signals at least two days of feeling crap.

I change out of my gear ready for my favourite meal of the week, tuna pasta. Tonight England play Montenegro in a world cup qualifier on TV. It is like men against hamsters, England win easily with a less than best team. I write the blog and do my to do list for tomorrow. If I am lucky with the weather I may get some garden time.
