Phew!

I finally started doing serious workouts again, but of course it is right before I leave on my trip to Italy. Oh well, at least I don't feel as fat.

Monday-Ran 4.4 miles in 34 minutes. That is quite fast so I think my timing might be off

Tuesday-Swam 64 laps at Anaheim Hills gym. Did some drills

Wednesday-Ran 7 miles in 58 minutes. Not bad, but my feet as hurting today.

Thursday-I will be swimming tonight.

Friday-nothing.

Saturday-leave for Italy!

Fat

I have gained 5 pounds in the past month. I'm having a problem finding the motivation to train. I did my Half Ironman, then spent a week recovering, then was lazy, then tapered for my Xterra race, then got sick. Now I am going to Italy next week and feel like there's no reason to train before my trip. But I need to so bad. Skyler and I have been spending a lot more time together lately so I have made excuses for myself. 

Although, this past weekend I did a lot of biking.

Thursday-rode 12 miles to work (was driven the rest of the way) and rode 12 miles home (again, driven part of the way)

Friday-rode bike to O'Neill park (25 miles) and camped overnight.

Saturday-rode to Santa Margarita and then home (30 miles total)

Sunday-short mountain bike ride with Carrie at Peter's Canyon

I did a lot of biking but I feel that running is where I can improve my body shape. Here's my plan for the week
Monday-running and softball

Tuesday-swimming

Wednesday-long run

Thursday-swimming

Friday-nothing

Saturday-leave for Italy

Lazy at Blogging and Training

I tapered.

I competed in the Xterra West Championships.

I recovered.

Today I finally trained. I rode my bike from home to Weir Canyon (on my way to work). I will ride the same distance home.
