Week 7 complete! I’ve not run in 3 weeks now, which I feel really sad about. I noticed this week that I was getting frustrated by the tiniest little things, and I couldn’t come up with a single reason why that would be happening. It took a few days into the week before I realized that I’ve been forced into pseudo-taper, and that’s what was making me just a little bit fussy. My workouts this week didn’t completely work out the way that I wanted them to. My bike ride on Wednesday had to be cut VERY short because it was far too windy to be out safely. I kept coming very close to being blown over, which was scary in and of itself. The cars passing me at 45 mph as I was being tossed around was really what was upsetting to me, so I called it quits and went on a walk instead. I was also planning to lift after work on Thursday, and then realized after I got to work that I had an event to go to straight after work, and had to scrap my lifting plans. It’s a bummer, but I’m doing what I can do right now. Here’s what my week looked like:
Not the week that I would want during what should be a peak week, but, as I said, I’m doing what I can do with all the constraints that seem to be existing right now. I haven’t done the elliptical in SO long (maybe since early 2013 or late 2012?), and really don’t like it, but I’m trying to keep my cardio fitness as best as I can, so I sucked it up (and sent a few fussy snaps to some of my friends) 😀
