Hope you are heading home with that kind of smile on your face! Always! Especially since the Olympics are now coming on. Got a bunch of cleaning to do, but oh well. Gotta be done I suppose. |

I have SO much to do at home before the flat mate gets back on Saturday or it will be another round of world war at home... I see some busy post work evenings in my future... Bleh... I hate cleaning... and he is obsessive about... where as my attitude is a bit of mess never hurt anyone! |

MotoQueen ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Okay, got my cycling and core workout in today. And some extra abs from the Battleship Abs challenge. I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I have to remember to go in late tomorrow. My night shift is going from Thursday to Wednesday. Must remember! Must remember! Don't want to accidentially do a 12 hour day if I don't have to. ![]() |

Yes a bit of mess never hurt anyone but Im trying to avoid another World War at home... the thing is even if I think the place is spotless he will invariably find the one thing that isnt and get in a huff about that so its amazing I keep trying! |

Things to consider: - New medication - Long term changes in run training, distance, volume and goal - General lifestyle.. you have had lots going on like moving in with TB, a pretty active social life and time with the kids - Inconsistent training - The weather - lack of motviation as you keep questioning yourself and thinking you would rather be riding/lifting... this is enough to affect your run performance alone Ummm .... yeah too many variables! |

Science Nerd![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I think I'm going to start using HR zones for training, especially for running. Otherwise, I feel like I'm either working too hard or not hard enough. I did a LT TT today. I'm exhausted!!! But, I'm feeling pretty good. Really positive about this. |

If I could get myself PAST caring about the pace, I could probably run 5 klicks every day, but I don't want it to take me 40 minutes to do, either. I've thought about REDUCING my run distances to say two miles and just humping it as hard as I can, and then extending the run by 1/10 of a mile each week. I don't think the 'slow will make you faster' is a formula that my body responds to. I think you need to honestly look at what you were running this time last year... specifically from say March - August and compare it to this year... I think you will be surprised at the change in volume and running, racing and planning because this year really has been completely different in comparison for you... Maybe its time to be more honest with yourself.
If you want to focus on the 5k distance... well you can do sprints and plyo work and all sorts of things on top of some volume (say a max of 10k runs) and get your time back up and probably faster than it was when you had a marathon as the set goal... (without expending any more real time in training ) Or you can say - I dont care I do this for fun - and ride for fun, lift for fun and run when you feel like it for fun without worrying about the distance vs time equation... But you were very dedicated to training this time last year... this year you have lots of other interesting and exciting things going on in your life so it makes sense that you have other things to focus on now! |

You have Nibbs for company while you are working! Um, well... He's still at the bottom of the learning curve, so I've actually been spending a lot of time with him.... (Which means I haven't had time to get my OWN work done.) And probably, just as he moves up the learning curve, he'll give his resignation.... |

But that is also tied to my basic TOTAL lack of self confidence and very low self-esteem. The things that I'm good at, no one really cares about... I am not sinking into depression or the down phase of the manic cycle here, I'm simply being honest. To some extent, you have to stop caring about what other people care about or think about. I know that's so much harder to do than to say because I have the same problem. You do a lot of great things. You play guitar well, you are a good father to kids that love you, you make me smile at least once a day. |

I am not sinking into depression or the down phase of the manic cycle here, I'm simply being honest. So work on the self confidence and self esteem and then you will care less? I dont buy that people never care what ANYONE thinks ever... but you have to find some sort of balance where you can enjoy the things that make you happy... because they make you happy... Whose opinion do you value? Your parents, your gf, your kids? Because really, all those people want is for you to do what makes you happy... if playing guitar makes you happy then no one has a right to judge... and if they do then their opinion probably isnt relevant! |
