Nothing this morning but a couple of advil :( .  It is getting better, but still uncomfortable. 

It kind of amazes me how a couple of days of inactivity and not keeping my h2o consumption up creates a 3 pound weight gain overnight.  I normally have 3 or 4 liters of water  day and yesterday only got in one and whammo!  I am fairly confident that this is the cause as I ate about as clean yesterday as I could have.

Upper body and core this morning.  I was planning a run, but the legs are a bit on the sore side between the bike and weights yesterday.  Maybe something after work, but if it actually stops raining I will need to get the lawn work done.

It is amazing how many muscles are in the leg that apparently are not conditioned by running and biking!  And they all hurt right now!  And I really didn't lift that heavy yesterday! I might even need to break down and go to the pool to get them feeling better.

Legs and abs before breakfast.  I am thinking I will either get on the treadmill or the trainer this afternoon and watch football.  Generally yucky weather here today so stuck inside.

Still raining :( .  So hopped on the bike and watched the car race.  

Back from the oral surgeon after my daughter had her wisdom teeth removed.  I just have to keep an eye on her today so I am working from home today (and I'll use the term work loosely, but I do have a small project to get done).

I'm planning on some weights and a run on the treadmill this afternoon.  But if it does not happen, oh well.  I have loaded my training plans for this winter and next year for a spring marathon and Lake Placid.  I have until mid November before they start, so my goal between now and then is a loose schedule of biking and swimming once or twice a week and focus on building the run up.  But I am going to take the attitude that if I want to do it I will, if I don't I wont.  That way I'll be mentally fresh as well once the structured training starts.  My only concern with the winter plan is it may not have enough bike work to prepare for the IM plan so I may have to supplement that some.  Other wise the marathon and IM plans are the same as I have used previously and my goals this time are follow the workouts closer rather than just using the time and distance as a guideline.

2 pound "official" weight loss this week, but it was actually 5.  Per the rules of the challenge I can't count te 3 I put on after the official weigh in :( !

Legs are still a touched fatigued so I stuck mostly to body weight exercises this morning, then an easy Z1/2 run.  It has been a few weeks since I did any leg work so its going to hurt anyways, but maybe keeping the weight to a minimum will reduce the soreness :) !

If are in on the weight loss you will see todays weight is the same as the starting weight which does not look good, however, the last 2 weekends of conventions and hotel food pushed it up over 201 so, I have actually had a good week and WILL WIN THE TIARA!!! (Right Zipp?) :)

Cool!  It looks like I won 2 prizes in Sunday's raffle (unless of course there were to people with my name)! Not sure exactly what I won, but winning is fun :) !

I ran out of news shows that would put my mug on in Rochester so I shifted to Syracuse.  Check out channel 9 if you can!  Maybe I should become a politician as I have yet to meet a camera I didn't like :) !
