I'm sure it must be the case with most training programs that life rarely flows along smoothly but is filled with unplanned events, diversions and clashes. This has certainly been the case with Tough Mudder training with a beautifully crafted, balanced and well-rounded training program almost constantly having to be modified, tweaked and gaffa-taped together to work with an unpredictable lifestyle.
This week had me up in Brisbane for a couple of days which meant (a) skipping Monday evening's circuit training, and (b) missing two days of lunchtime workouts. However, it did present the opportunity to go for an early morning jog one morning along the beautiful Brisbane river - It's always nice to mix up some training with a different view, although it did slow me down somewhat as I occasionally pulled up the pace to take in the view! :)
However, it's still all progressing well. Times on most of the jogging routines have been falling and while I'm the WORST person in the world at judging my own fitness level and whether I'm improving, I do seem to be feeling that some things are coming a bit easier: The boxing last night seemed more manageable and I was putting a lot more force in for a lot more time, and I even managed to eke out 100 push ups (on toes!) over an extended period of time on the weekend, which was certainly a first!
