<\/p>\nEverything is lovely – but life is a bit overwhelming lately.\u00a0 Like the kind where you’re loving everything you do, but just wishing there was more time to do even more stuff you love?\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah, I know, hard problem.\u00a0 Pity me, please.\u00a0 I love my job, the workouts I’ve been doing have felt like more fun than work, I spend many hours with my lovely Zliten and friends doing awesome fun stuff.\u00a0 I just simply wish for more hours in the day to fill with more awesome stuff that I want to do.<\/p>\n
I’ve been eating well for the most part, but I haven’t been tracking.\u00a0 I did a 20.7 mile bike ride on Saturday (longest ever at one time).\u00a0 I did a 1250m swim (over 3\/4 mile) on Sunday (which is also my longest ever).\u00a0 I took 2 days off and worked it out pretty hard the days I did.\u00a0 I did weigh in a little high yesterday morning, but it’s a product of a high salt day.\u00a0 Which I also had last night.\u00a0 Honestly, I’m sticking right around 160 and I think that’s just going to have to be ok for now.\u00a0 I think I really might need some professional help to really figure out the diet thing, so I’ll just keep eating the way I do now because it fuels my workouts and figure it out later.\u00a0 Or at least the next time it becomes an emergency in my head.<\/p>\n
This week, I’m planning these workouts:<\/p>\n
Monday: 30 mins DDR and weights<\/p>\n
Tuesday: 12 mile bike ride and 5k run<\/p>\n
Wednesday: going with a coworker to boot camp!\u00a0 Fun!<\/p>\n
Thursday: bike commuting + weights<\/p>\n
Friday: rest<\/p>\n
Saturday: loooong bike ride (21 miles+?)<\/p>\n
Sunday: TBD.\u00a0 Something between another bike adventure, a walk, or maybe just sitting on my ass.<\/p>\n
What’s up this week?\u00a0 Zliten is out of town until Wednesday night (flight comes in conveniently after camp gladiator) and I’m holding down the fort, Thursday we have a yelp event at a gallery, Saturday Zliten is having bachelor party shenanigans (the groom to be wants to tour all the breweries in town) and I’m playing poker with coworkers, and that’s about it!<\/p>\n
With everything going on, I imagine this is likely the only (worthless excuse for a) post I’ll be able to get up this week.\u00a0 I have a lot of things I’d like to talk about, but either I don’t have the time, or it’s not official yet.\u00a0 I’m holding out for next week being time for cool announcements and loveliness, but we’ll see.<\/p>\n
Also – and please hold me to it folks – next week I plan to resume more frequent and longer runs.\u00a0 I just got new shoes and I’ll give them a spin on the treaddy tonight, but if I’m going to be knocking out a 10k after swimming a mile and biking 25 – I need to get back to it.\u00a0 My goal is to always keep a base of 10k – being able to knock one out with confidence and a respectable time (around 9min\/mile) at any time.\u00a0 I’ve gone too long without one due to heel issues.\u00a0 Hopefully these shoes take care of this.\u00a0 I mean, I DO need to keep on with the biking and swimming, but I can’t forget about running.\u00a0 And there is just nothing like the feeling of a good run…<\/p>\n
Ok, back to it.\u00a0 I will leave you with a picture of me being badass at the gladiator games (in the black).\u00a0 Have a wonderful week, and don’t hate me too much for being an absentee blogger!<\/p>\n
