Week 3 = Worst Training Week Ever

This week was not good. Work was extremely busy. It cut into just about all of my training time. Then by the time the weekend got here, I was so worn out, I didn’t feel like I could get in a run or ride. Poor motivation and mindset on my part. Oh well. As long as you learn from your experiences & mistakes right?

Monday
Workout #1 – Masters Swim (skipped)
Workout #2 – Strength Training (46mins)

Tuesday
Workout #1 – Intervals on Treadmill. Went ok. 26mins, 1.97 miles.
Workout #2 – Endurance Ride (Skipped)

Wednesday
Workout #1 – Masters Swim (skipped)
Workout #2 – Strength Training (50 mins)

Thursday
Workout #1 – Bike speed work (skipped)
Worktou #2 – Endurance Run. Crappiest run ever. My legs felt like poop. Cut it way short. 30mins 2.7 miles

Friday
Workout #1 – Masters Swim (skipped)
Workout #2 – Strength Training (skipped)

Saturday
A whole lot of nothing

Sunday
Even more nothing

So, out of a planned 13.5hr training week I sqeaked in 156mins...that is 2hrs 36mins. I'm going to have to adjust my overall training plan. I'll push starting my base period to 12/7. The month of November is going to all be Prep. I need to get in the habit of getting my butt out of bed early each day. This week should be pretty good. I've mapped out some good training to work around going back down to the beach this weekend. I won't be doing any training on Saturday so I dropped my hours down to 12.5. "Why are you going back down the beach, Eric" you may ask....Well, IM Florida is this weekend. I'm heading down to make it official and register for next years race. I'm a little nervous about it already and its 53 weeks out. I'll take some good pics and vids to post.

Til next week...
