As I mentioned in my last blog post, I have been sick. It really caught up with me. All I wanted to do was sleep. I have not run or swam or biked or anything since Mar. 3rd. Today was beautiful and I am feeling a little better, not great but better. I finally got out there and finished W7. I know I am supposed to rest between run days but I think I am going to get W8D1 started tomorrow. I need to get back on track. Week 8 looks like this:
Week 8
- 5 minute Warm Up Walk
- 28 minute jog
- 5 minute Cool Down Walk
So it is only 3 minutes longer on the runs that I have been doing. I am pretty sure I can handle it. Today I actually felt pretty good most of the way. I could have even run longer. Still moving pretty slow, but steady. I think it would be a lot nicer when I don't have this congestion in my chest, I am sure. When I got back, I then went out for a very short bike ride. I don't want to overdo it but I want to get a little bit of everything in. I only went 4 miles and I realized I went from having my left pedal too tight and hard to get out of to having it too loose and I step out of it too easily. I did some more adjusting and we will see when I take it out for a short ride again tomorrow. I am going to keep my rides short I think for the rest of March while I am still finishing my C25K program. Probably 5 miles or less. Then in April, I will pick it up and start looking at 8-10 mile rides and maybe one longer one at the end of each week. Once C25K is done, I have to get myself on a nice little schedule. Of course with my work schedule changing all the time, this could be kind of difficult.
Now, about this weekend. I really blew off healthy all together. Both Saturday and Sunday, I ate junk and ate like a pig. Needless to say, I will not be getting on the scale for a few days. I do not want to know the damage. But I am not going to let it stop me from continuing my goal and my efforts. I used to do that in the past and I need to change that habit. I am going to treat it like a vacation from eating right rather than cheating. I am back to work now and that is what counts. I have come to far and too far to go to give it al up.
