I had a sinus infection last week, was on antibiodics so I dialed it back for a week. Only rode about 30 or so and ran about 12. I am back on track this week though. Today I ran 6.7 with av pace of 9:38. I was pretty happy with that. Already have a couple good rides in and tomorrow is Thursday! The day both kids are in school so I can take a nice long morning ride. Probably be chilly though. On pace to have about 21 mile run week and 100-120 miles on the bike.
I played football this past weekend at my parent's fall festival and I seem to have hurt my hip a little. Not bad, still able to do everything. Just a little soreness at the front, right where the quads insertion point is. It a little "inflamed" after my run today so I am not getting on the trainer tonight.
I am still liking my runs, but it is getting a little harder to motivate myself to get out and get started. I feel the need to keep going, keep getting prepared more and more, but I fear that I am going to be burnt out by the time the training schedule starts. I may have to take a little time off in the next month or so just so I can be fresh mentally and physically for the training plan to start.
Need to keep focusing on my diet. That is the hardest part for me. Have slipped a little the past 2 weeks or so, I always seem to be re-focusing on that part. I guess that is part of the game. Re-focus, re-focus.
Anyways, thanks for reading. Will try not to take so long the next time in updating.
How long is the actual training plan?
ReplyDeleteThere are 3 that I am considering Tracey. a 20 week, 30 week and a 36 week. They all ramp up about the same during the "heavy" training period, the difference is mainly the base building time. Stuff just like I am doing now, just more organized.
ReplyDeleteCool! I didn't realize you weren't in a training plan already.
