Week 3

Week 3 of training had its ups and downs:

Wins:
1) I made it out for that long run -- 4.8 very long miles. It was hard and I'm glad my friend Sue Ellen joined me for the 2nd loop around the lake because I was losing motivation.

2) Went for a 75 minute bike ride and the only stops were at stoplights. Amber and I kept a good pace on the bikes too. Discovered the many points along Valleyview road are just easier to ride on the road rather than the trail. We did about 11.4 miles total!

Middle of the road:

Nutrition. I did ok in the beginning of the week, by the weekend I fell off. I tried hard, but wound up making a few bad choices, although I didn't go insanely over so the sheer amount of calories I burned this week may make up for any of those overages.

Loses:
Sunday thru Tuesday I was too busy/tired to work out. So I skimped on working out. I anticipated being too tired today which is why my long run was done yesterday.


One thing thats bumming me out is how often the phrase "tired" or some variation on it has crept into my verbiage. I'm having a lot of problems lately getting back into working how I was before the wedding. I'm just ready to be done. To be working 1 job, have weekends and normal scheduling. But because I know that I don't have that mythical full time job, I'm stuck in my current situation. Knowing that I'm stuck sends me back to that dark place when I felt stuck in Rochester. It comes through in my dwindling attitude at the shop. It comes through in how hard it is to get up and get going to work on time. Will I ever get beyond this continual loop of being stuck?
