I suck

That's all I got for now.,

Recovery Week

In construction, when we ask a Sub for a recovery schedule, we want to know how he's going to make up the lost time and get back where he needs to be.

In Triathlon, when we talk about recovering, it's considered a rest week.

My Recovery week , is construction driven this month.

Schedule was....33.5 hours, 10 days.

I was crap this morning, so I'm already 6 hours behind.

Schedule is....33.5 hours....9 days.

What's your wager?

BRING IT.

Tough August

July was good, at least good for me training wise. Then August hit. I'm 30% done with my scheduled training hours with less than 50% of the month to go. Still haven't finished the training contract and when school started last week, it was PTA this and PTA that. I'm not deterred however. August may not finish at 100%, but you can be damn sure it'll be close.

Thanks for holding me accountable Meg.

July Totals

I was pretty proud of these until I saw a fellow IMAZ'rs totals for July. I'll just stick with posting my own, and let hers stand on their own somewhere else.



Activity
Training Plan Time Actual Time Actual Distance Pace Calories
Swim 6:45 6:58 13 32:12 5188
Bike 15:15 13:52 224 16.2 mph 8960
Run 8:55 7:17 34.1 12:48 3407
Other(P90X) 25:15 6:30 0 - -
Totals 56:10 34:37 271 17555

Ok
So P90X didn't fare so well, but I'm happy with 34 hours for the month.

Also, the calories that ontri.com calculates is based on a 150 pound man, and I am nothing if not consistent at 1000 calories per hour. I am also nothing, if not 225 pounds, so...that being said, I'm going with 1000 cal/hour.....

Favorite Quote Ever.

T made a comment in her blog about being judgemental, or not....or trying not to be.

This quote slides right in the side door of that....in my opinion.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Teddy Roosevelt

Sucks when I had such an awesome combined weekend, last week.

My thought for today.

"They can carry me off the course, because some things are out of my control.
They can drag me off the course, but they will have a fight on their hands.
But I will NOT walk off the course. If I quit, I lose."

Bring It.
