Coming Back!

Hey hey hey... (Always reminds me of Fat Albert)


So here it is, many many many months since I last posted.  There have been some ups and a whole lot of downs since then, mostly why I have not posted.  But things are slowly creeping their way back up again.  I have been back to training, and getting more and more happening there.  Third week and this is my first week where my morning workouts (yes, I know it is only Tuesday, but I am 2/2!) have actually fully happened.

Been working on my biking, as I was asked to be a part of a triathlon relay as the biker for it.  So, decided that was a good place to start.  I have my hard workout tonight which last week, after I was done, well, never finished, because it was the closest I have come to vomiting ever in a work out.  It is a rough one!  Basically it is 50 minutes long.  5 minute warm up with a cadence around 85-95.  Then I spin up to 100-125rpm.  Then 5 min rest at 85-95.  I do 5 repeats of that.  Then, a 10 minute cool down afterwards.  Ouch.  

I have noticed though after my run yesterday that these spin ups actually sped up my cadence on my run as well.  So I had some extra speedy feet last night! I do not know my stats from last night as I have not uploaded them yet, but I know my first mile was sub 8:30 which is quite painful for someone that has not been running much lately and caused me to be super slow on the next two miles! Ended up with a 27:30ish time for 3 miles, so not horrible and a good start!

I have been doing weekly trail runs with a friend as well. I am sure these runs have helped with the running, but we do 5/1s and last night I was not doing 5/1s.  But I could tell I had been training for them, as I kept wondering when I could start walking!

Eating wise, yeah, a different story.  I have not been good at all here.  I am trying to behave and go back to eating Paleo like.  But, it is a struggle as I try to find some foods that I can cook in batches so I do not have to worry about cooking during the week.  The main problem is breakfasts.  Always so rushed in the mornings, that I end up eating from the cafeteria and I have managed to limit the damage there, still would prefer not to (not only for the waistline but the wallet line!)

Anyways, that is the update for today, and I will be back sooner than last time! Promise!

Enjoy!
