did a kettlebell workout yesterday evening but

I had an otb crash on a nightride last Wednesday, some pretty big slams skateboarding on Friday evening, and 1 fall on the halfpipe.... not sure which has dome it but my right elbow is stiff and very swollen, a doctor in work is adamant i need to go to a&e, so ill try and get in early and beat the queues for an x-ray

Are you sure your niggles aren't due to tiredness @scotroutes?I think my various niggles are.
Anyway an easy day today comprised of Weights, stretching and some essential massage.Truth be told I've had enough now and would like a week of now.

I haven’t been able to get as much outside riding as I had hoped, but thankfully the variety of gym, yoga classes and outdoor pool have kept it going and the niggly knee is slightly improved. 

I have had to fall back to longer dog walks on a few days. 

off to gym in half a hour and then a lunchtime yoga class, so all good 🤞👌

Managed an easy 5k run this morning. Started with a bit of a hobble but my leg seemed to be ok once I'd warmed up a bit. I'll try not to go overboard in the next few days.

Circuits and TRX back to back last night. I think the only part of my body that isn't sore is my left ear 😉

Looking back at my Strava for last Dec, (also 100 day challenge), I did a lot more miles/riding but that's pretty much all I did. I'm sure outside of the headline numbers, switching between swimming, running, gym and riding has more all round benefits. That's what I'm telling myself looking outside at the rain anyway.

If I want to meet my arbitrary target for kms, I'd need to do a lot of turbo between now and the new year. Can't see it happening.

Did a "light" turbo session last night, the third of the week and know that something is not right. I think I have had some sort of low grade something (bad sleep, slightly elevated HR) and the power in my legs is just gone. I have a weekend of not much planned, but I'm goign to be taking diog out for a longer walk at lunchtime today and will get some weights in tomorrow and sunday, see how that feels.

Got asked if I was going to be skydiving this weekend, but it's December FFS!

Swam yesterday but seems to be a pattern that I don't sleep well the night after a swim - chlorine reaction I guess. So after lying awake for some time in the night, I'm tired again today. It'll be lunchtime yogalates I think.

Popped out for a ride. Very wet and slippy (especially on those tyres) but the sun was out for the first time in a week. Legs felt battered tho, hope they improve for tomorrows proper ride.
