Time away

Last week I managed about 30 minutes of cardio work on an eliptical at the campus gym. No swimming, no biking, and no swimming. Lots of beer, sweet treats, and junk foody items - and it felt great to let things go.

Although, after a couple of days of not doing a tap, I started to get a little restless and almost started training again. I had to force myself away by getting busy with some house projects. I managed to knock a slew of them off our list by Sunday evening and felt like I still accomplished something last week.

Been sussing out my past training season in terms of what worked and what didn't. Been looking to the future, and Clearwater, in terms of what goals I want to achieve and what I need to do to get there. Two things that definitely ring clear are a switch up in the nutrition department and better quality brick workouts. My buddy Katie gave me a few good pointers which has the wheels spinning.

In the meantime, this week I am slowly getting back into some sort of unstructured activity. Mainly biking to/from work and whatever workouts I feel like doing whenever I feel like it. However, one thing I am going to focus on immediately is to start doing strength/core training for the next month to build back some of the muscle I lost over the past 3 months.

We are off to Vegas on Sunday(16th) until the following Friday. It should be a great trip and I hope to get out a few early mornings for some easy runs along the strip. Once we are back from that trip I'll start a base building for Clearwater.

Other than that, not much else new...Mel's birthday is on Wednesday so we are have Crave Cupcakes in celebration!
