Hell Week.
Well, the week 12th- 18th Feb was the week from hell, running wise and sleep wise...
The week started off with urgent renovations at the restaurant to free up the top floor for Valentine's Day, which were completed on Wednesday morning with a few hours to spare. We served 72 people that night, and then the chef was off sick for the rest of the week with a heap of bookings and a wedding reception looming. Ended up working 14- 17 hours each day of the week (on my feet) and only got in one run- 16K with Shogun on the Tuesday, at 4.45am. Not much sleep either- for example on the Friday we left the restaurant at 11pm, came back 7am Saturday, left 11pm that night, was back 7am Sunday.
Always wondered at people who said they were too busy for running, but now I have an understanding for their situation. Not good Six Foot Track preparation one bit.
