Overcoming setbacks....

Well, I think the pneumonia is working it's way out.  I was able to bike 45 minutes on Tuesday and I just ran about 15 minutes outside.  Not going to lie, it hurt.  badly.  I think I have a pretty big mental hurdle ahead of me the next month. 

I'm going to go to gym now and try to do some weights and core work.  I'm feeling really soft.  Game on.

I'm back after a sickness, vacation to Aspen and vacation to Hawaii.  With less than 200 days to go, I'm psyched to start killin' it.

I'm starting slow as I'm still recovering from this dang cold.  Biked 45 minutes on the trainer tonight.

Bike outside 1:40.  I was supposed to go between 2 and 2.5 hours.  Not sure what's wrong with me this week, but have not had the motivation to give 100% on my workouts.  Lot's of outside stress.  Lot's of excuses.

Ran 1:06 with Lauren.  Was glad to have a running partners.  I felt pretty tired and slow.  Ran at 3pm.  Ate crappy foods all day leading up to the run and I think that affected my run significantly.

Bike on trainer.

10' easy spin warmup, 30' steady aerobic, 2 x (2' climbing big gear, 1' recovery spin), 10' steady, 5' seated big gear, 5' spin

Was tired today.

Just realized I've been skipping my basic core sessions. This is important for me to pick up next week.
