When I was training hard for events in the past, I always seemed to think that it was the sessions that I didn't want to do which were the ones that counted the most.

It's easy to train when you're flying, and you're not tired, and nothing else is in your head or getting in the way.

Much harder to make yourself do something when it is.

I had one of those days yesterday (Monday), but just at work.

I turned up, and I just didn't have it; I was grumpy and tired and uninspired, and I felt myself grinding through the day.

By the time it got to 3 o'clock, I'd just started to pick up some momentum to go forward (I missed the swim that I was going to have). In that circumstance, though, it's better to just get s**t done, even the stuff you don't want to do; grind it out because you'll probably wake up tomorrow feeling a lot better, and you'll be glad for the space you've got.

These days make the biggest difference, turning up when you don't want to turn up, and getting things done when it's harder to not get things done.

The only problem happens when this is every day, and if it becomes every day, something has to give.
