So my hobbits woke up in a ditch this week.

And even though I have a valid entry, I am struggling with what feels to me like guilt for posting it. Like there's something else I'm leaving undone. And that thing is probably work. It's haunting me this week, my lack of productivity, focus, etc. I'm unhappy about that, and have to put plans in place ( Read more... )

Sometimes I get a mental block about updating things. Even long-running things I made a commitment about. Like the Tolkien Trek ( Read more... )

Seriously, wow. I skipped my planned bike workout because pilates left me exhausted and slightly nauseous. Must remember to keep up with some additional home-work because I'm rather behind the curve ( Read more... )

Yesterday was another good day. Over 14 miles on the bike, (3.5 after my 4:1 factor ( Read more... )

Ok, so I had a good week for workouts.

I have to add a bit over 17 miles on the bike, which comes out to 4.25 after my 4:1 factor.

Head didn't need as much clearing, but I had the bug, so I hopped on the treadmill and put in a ten-minute-mile, about all I'm good for these days, then walked for a couple of minutes of recovery, then did some intervals to take me to 2 miles total. Felt MUCH more vigorous than the bike, but then again I was able to finish 2 miles in something ( Read more... )

Sunday night, needed to get some head-clearing exercise in this weekend. So I knocked off just over 12 miles on the bike with a set of weights after. At 4:1 this gives me another three miles.
