One month in...

Well I've survived one month of training, one race and we're creeping up on 3 weeks until the wedding.  My mind is going a million different directions, but I use my training time to clear my brain and refocus my energy.  Then I go back to my crazy hectic life.

Nothing much to report other than my totals:
Miles Run: 46.4
Laps Swam: 281.5
Mins/Hrs on bike: 630m or 10.5hrs

I had a "down" week last week. Just felt tired and drained.  My chest has felt tight & it's hard to breathe.  Everyone says you'll have a bad week or bad workout.  So as cranky as I was, and as much as I would have rather just sat on the couch, I just pushed through it.  My last 7 mile run felt like crap.  My legs were heavy, it was hard to breathe and I was just mentally out of it.  But it's done & behind me and I can move on to month 2!

What to work on: GET UP EARLIER to get one workout in on double days.  It's not difficult to do two workouts in one day, but rolling my a$$ out of bed is the hardest part.  Just need to DO IT!

My positive take away: Even if the workout feels like garbage, it's better than nothing and you'll feel better at the end for having done it, than if you sat home.

February race.............
I'm thinking the BRRC Valentine's Day 10K on 2/9.  Anyone care to join me & Jethro?! (if they'll let me bring him)
