Ok, somebody give me a little shove. I really, really need to get going. It's been exactly two weeks since the HIM and I am really not motivated to get back in the training routine.
My new shoes helped briefly, until I actually ran in them. Hehe. My foot still hurt and it was still 94 degrees. I was supposed to do a 10-12 miler today and after 5 called it quits. I was shivery and thirsty and really, really hot. The humidity was 92% and the heat index was so high they were telling people to keep their pets indoors. Yeah, that's hot. I had to work this morning so I couldn't go for the long run right away. Well, looking back, I should have gotten up before the sun and run to my heart's content. I didn't, but I will next time. Anyway, by 10:15 am it was too broiling for me. I decided it wasn't safe and ran home and had lunch.
Last week I did 3 runs and 3 swims and that was it.
The week before that was a recovery week and I did 1 run, 1 bike, and 2 swims.
So, this week is a new week.
The plan is...
Monday - Run 6 miles am, Swim 3000 yds pm
Tuesday - Bike 1 hour am, Track workout
Wednesday - Bike 1 hr 20 min am, core pm
Thursday - Run 6 miles am, Swim pm
Friday - Run 3 miles am, Swim pm, lift UEs and core pm
Saturday - Rest (?)
Sunday - Long run (10 miles)
The other part of the plan includes some healthy, all natural eating habits. I never really fall off completely, I just become more careless. I seriously need to have someone really qualified look at this!

Hey, you are doing way better than I am. I haven't done a damn thing (except for 2 half-assed Spin workouts) since July 13th.
Hopefully this week will be the week where I get my butt back in gear. :-)
I need to register for another race for some motivation. :-)
Good on ya for getting in a strong mindset for what's ahead.
Execute your plan and you'll be spot on.
Purple shoes huh? hmmmm, not sure what to think of that just yet. Get 'em dirty and you might like them better too.
