Good Running Week

Last week wasn't bad for running, I was able to run outside twice. Hopefully the weather will continue to be nice enough as I can't stand being on that treadmill. As I have been saying for awhile I need to get my rear end to the gym and actually swim. Hopefully next weekend the weather will continue to be nice and no rain so I can get out and ride my bike. I also need to get my road bike to the shop, it seems to be slipping gears and since I I have limited maintenance skills it's beyond my knowledge / ability to fix.

Can't believe race season is right around the corner, I need to actually check out the upcoming race sites as I haven't registered for any of the upcoming races.

Also ordered the 10 minute workout series. Hubby loves P90X but I don't have time to do that plus the swim/bike/run workouts, so he suggested I try the 10 minute workouts, hopefully it will be here some time this week.

This week I have the following scheduled:

Swim - 4 workouts
Bike - 3 workouts
Run - 3 workouts
Strength Training - 3 workouts.

Making my own decisions

It's now been 6 weeks of steady exercise, including sticking to the routine while on travel to India. My eating habits have wandered a bit but I know what I need to do. Recently I have decided that I'm going to live the life I want and not what everyone else wants. All my life I have been ruled by someone else making decisions, telling me what to do or wanting to make the right decisions to please everyone else but not really doing what I want. I realized the 1st time I made a decision / choice for myself was when I met my now husband and decided to marry him; 22 years later it still is the best decision I made. He has always supported me; which is something that is unusual for me an it's taken me awhile to realize this. I've always played life safe rather than risking and following my dreams/desires. Triathlon was my 2nd decision, by me and for me. I have neglected those desires because of work pressures. I realize that my current job wil...

2019...not starting off perfect

But does anything ever start out and finish perfect? I caught the hubby's cold, thought I battled it well but I was wrong and it took me down on New Years day but that was a rest day so no worries. Got up Wednesday, ready to start my new workout routine....wrong, felt worse than day before, so off to Urgent Care, got some drugs and fighting this. Decided to move workouts back by a day and cancel Sunday as a day off, besides I took New Years day off, as planned. Had a good workout today, still sticking to my running, biking, HITT plan but added strength training in starting today. My bike wasn't as long as I wanted it to be but doing something is what I take as a positive. I decided my goals/objectives for 2019 are simple: Live a healthier life! There is a lot of things behind that statement, I recently posted the below on FB and I want to ensure that every day, week, month and year I'm striving to improve my life - mentally, physical, relationships, etc. ...

4 WEEKS!

3/20/17 - 3/26/17 Swim - 0 of 3 Bike - 1 of 3 Run - 3 of 3 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 0 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2017) Swim - 6,477 yds / 49,987 yds miles Bike - 28.8 miles / 426.2 miles Run - 16.87 miles / 96.3 mile Wow - thought I did better -guess not. No swimming this week and I wish I could say my shoulder feels better but NOT. Despite not hitting on my training sessions I feel those that I did were on point! Today was the last splurge weekend and the hubby is planning to stick with me, which I really appreciate. It makes it easier when dining out. I'm disappointed that I didn't drop any weight this week because overall I had a good nutrition week but that could be related to less activity. I still have several pounds I want to lose before race day so no splurges for the next 4 weeks hopefully will help with that. My nutrition plan is going very well - except I forgot how qui...

I'm Tri'ing
