Week 16 - a little better

Last week was a melt down for me. After another week of missed workouts, I started to turn my attitude around. I mean, everyone goes through a period in their training that tests you mentally. Friends have convinced me to find some "fun" in training again whether that means skipping a whole week and doing nothing over 30 mins of training, to skipping a weekend session to focus on a short, fun race or activity that doesn't involve swim, bike, run. If I meant to, or not, I apted for no workouts during the week. Other than swimming, I didn't get much in and I must admit, my attitude feels a little better.

I've researched about 4 nutritionist, and picked the brains of all my friends. With Adrian's help (and a lot of wine) I learned a little more on how much I might be calorie deprived. So, this week's goal is setting up an appointment with a nutritionist and getting these last 8 weeks on track.

Thanks to Mo's encouraging note, and a few inspirational words from my runners, I'm feeling better!

This week's accomplishments:
Mon: Swim (70 min)
Tues: nothing
Wed: Swim (70 mins)
Thur: nothing was in San Diego for a work offsite
Fri: nothing again due to offsite, but did get a fabulous massage!
Sat: Run 150 mins (I accidentally overdid this workout because I was only supposed to do 80-100 mins)
Sun: Bike (270 mins) and run (40 mins)
Feeling better as of Sunday and contacted a few nutritionists.
