Another week where I did less training than I'd like. I had to do a presentation on Monday, which I spent all weekend and right up until the last moment preparing, I think it went ok but we'll see when I get my grade. After I got that out of the way I had two days to prepare for an exam, half of which went well, the other half was a bit of a disaster but hopefully I got enough out of it to get a half-decent grade. Just need to put the finishing touches to an essay and do one more exam next Friday and its happy holidays.
Saturday 5th December - Rest Day
Sunday 6th December - Rest Day
Monday 7th December - Run 13.33km
After doing nothing over the weekend, was eager to get out and do something, although I didn't get home until gone 8pm so I didn't leave myself much time. I ran on about the same pace as I did in the half-marathon in Elda, although it was split in two, quick at the start with the wind behind with the payback on the way back. Overall I was happy with it.

Tuesday 8th December - Rest Day
Wednesday 9th December - Run 10.6km
Back out running again doing my regular lap, left it fairly late in the evening, which reminds me I need to sort myself with some lights to attach to my t-shirt, I wasn't making myself popular with car drivers and took precautionary evasive action jumping into the long grass a couple of times. Apart from those episodes it was a good run, not my quickest but good nonetheless. I'd ideally like to run a half marathon going at the same pace, which would see me going under 90 minutes but I think next week's half in Aspe will be too early to go for that target.
10.6km 4:14min/km 44:54
Thursday 10th December - Bike 21.7km
After the "fun" of a Macroeconomics exam in the mornings, went out and had myself some real fun on the bike in the afternoon to forget about it. Was a good bit of training together with an hour to unwind after the morning's stresses.
21.7km 2:51min/km 1:02:08
Friday 11th December - Swim 1km
Another exciting Friday night down at the pool, just me and another two happy go lucky guys making waves. Its not exactly part of a rock'n'roll lifestyle, but I enjoy it anyway. I threw in a few fast laps to make it more interesting, I'll look to try to speed up my swimming in the new year with a view to eventually having a go at triathlon.
