Registered for Norfolk Half Marathon this morning.  If all goes well, I am hoping to run sub 1:40.  

No training today - too many things going on.

Back in town. Nooner stress relief run. RPE = 5. 

There are just not enough hours in the day lately.  This weekend is crazy busy, so training will be light once again.  

I am sorry for the lack of inspires lately.  I hope everyone is doing well and training safe.  I will try to catch up at some point over the next couple of days.   

Hotel dreadmill run.  Too bad I wasn't smart enough to bring some cold weather clothes so that I could run some hills outside (as Janelle suggested).   RPE = 3.

Up early for an easy spin.  RPE = 2. 

Wanted to swim today, but work prevented that.  Maybe later tonight, but doubtful.......   

Training will be sporadic for a little while as there are not enough hours right now to balance everything going on.  Nashville trip Wednesday & Thursday, so we will see what I can get in at the hotel. 

Easy run at lunch. I still don't have my legs, but my lungs (HR) were much better.  Weird weather for January - 75 degrees and windy!  I was getting blown around something fierce going over the bridges.  RPE = 3. 

Planned drainer ride tonight while either watching 24 or some MLK documentaries (I know - complete opposites). 

Seeing how this is the half way point of the month, I know I will not make my monthly goals.  My travel schedule picks up again this week, and between that and other work/personal commitments getting in my LONG weekend training sessions will be tough.  Oh well, that's ok because I feel really good about my base coming into 'official' IM training on Feb 5.  And honestly, I know my body could use another 2 - 3 less stressful weeks before it all begins.  That being said, I will not use any of this as an excuse to be a 'slacker'.  I will get in my work, just not as much as expected at the beginning of the month. 

Splish - Splash.  Laps, laps, laps.  Swim for endurance.  Focused on 'reaching' with each stroke.

The week of bike avoidance is over.  I will get all three colors in my graph this upcoming week.
