1/30

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.

1/29

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.

1/28

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.

1/27

Morning swim with masters.  Actually felt quite good.  Swam for an hour.

1/26

Bike on trainer.
10' easy spin, 60' steady aerobic, 5' spin cooldown.

Felt fine.

1/25

Ran 5 miles with Mary.  I was supposed to bike, but was psyched to have a friend to run with, so I decided to swap days.
It felt good.  I was surprised I wasn't more tired.  It felt like we were running fast, but turns out it was only 9:20 min/mi.  That's frustrating.

1/24

4 mile run.  It hurt.  My legs were tired!  My pace was about 9:40 min/mi.  Ouch.  I was supposed to do between 4.5 and 5.  Didn't happen.  I had to walk a bit at the 3 mile mark. 

This is the week that it hit me that this is going to be a tough road to September.  But,  I do feel like I'm finally getting in shape (sort of) and I'm very motivated to keep it rolling.
