The Good Life

The following equipment is nearing replacement:

November 1

Bike
  • 54m 28s
  • 15.49 miles
  • 17.06 Mi/hr

Finally a free weekend, plus nice weather for me to get out and ride my bike, outside! It was my first outdoor ride since Sept 13th and it was evident my bike fitness has diminished. Good winds out there too, half my ride was into a headwind, strong enough to make my down hill rides still make you feel like you were riding uphill. The last mile or two I pretty much coasted home, I was tired of battling the exhausting head wind.

October 31

Run
  • 27m 46s
  • 4.00 miles
  • 06m 57s /Mi

Despite my continued knee pain I went out for an anticipated run. If my knee would allow me I would have run farther. I held a very strong pace (maybe too fast), but after mile two my knee again began to hurt. I had to stop a few times on the later half of the run because of the pain. Begrudgingly I might have to not run on it this week in hopes to heal it.

Swim
  • 29m 51s
  • 2187.22 yards
  • 01m 21s /100 yards

Decent swim tonight. My shoulders would start to load up in the middle of my swims which in turn hurt my technique, particularly towards the end of my workout.

Run

  • 3.25 miles
  • 09m 08s /Mi

I went out for a run with my wife once I got home from work. We only ran three miles; I kinda wanted to run farther but the wife was a little sore from a personal training session she had earlier in the day. I can still feel pain in my knee despite over a week's worth of rest. So much so that I attempted to run a fourth mile at the gym later but I had to stop because of the pain. This sucks because I was looking forward to some good running this week.

It is the last week of October and it's also the last week of daylight savings time. Next week it will most definitely be dark when I get home from work. Last week was my off week and now its time to casually get back into the swing of things. I'm going to try a new arrangement this week - do my running/biking/swimming before I do my gym thing. Hopefully, this will eliminate any lack of motivation I have as the evening draws on. It's one thing to be able to come home from work and workout when the evening sun is still up and shining and a completely different thing to workout when its a dark, cloudy, and chilly evening.
