This has been a crappy week. It started off well - I attended an amazing spin class on Monday, got my swim and run in on Tuesday and then Tuesday afternoon started getting a sore throat. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty bad. Very few times in my life have I stayed home or left early from work because I wasn't feeling well. Thursday was one of those few days. I went to work and quickly realized I shouldn't have done that. I left early, came home and slept. I am now starting to feel human again. The down side of being sick is missing the gym for 5 days! I'll be heading back to the gym tomorrow (to attend that amazing spin class).
Before getting sick, I was reviewing my training schedule and quickly realized I may have bitten off more than I can chew. I have established my goals for the year and my race schedule however my training was not matching up with those. I've always had the problem to push myself and some times I push a bit too hard. I was already planning to do the Rock n Roll full marathon instead of 1/2. Mentally I was already moving down the road to a 1/2 Ironman. Slow down! So I reworked my schedule to match my goals and race season. I'm much happier with the plan I have now. Although now I have to figure out where / how I'm going to make up for the last 5 days. Don't get me wrong the plan is still tough, just more realistic. One of the biggest changes is that I pushed back the ChiRunning 1/2 Marathon program to coincide with the Rock n Roll 1/2 marathon.
I completed registration for the Kerrville Olympic Tri, I am now registered for all 3 tri events. They also changed the date for the Rock n Roll 1/2 marathon, from Dec 8th to Nov 17th.
I still had a weight loss this week, which was a bit of a surprise but I easily stayed within my calorie range this week despite the lack of working out. That is actually rewarding to see at this stage in my weight loss. I'm 2.5 lbs away from my goal weight!!
