Consistency... Not Yet.

This week mirrored last week, in the sense that I cut one ride short by an hour and I missed a swim. I'm not overly concerned about the swim as I feel like I can build this up pretty quick but the consistency on the bike is really beginning to be a concern. It's hard this time of year to get outside and ride and I've clearly demonstrated that I do not posses the mental toughness to go over an hour on the trainer... So as expected my bike feels WEAK!!! True to form, I think today I officially entered "Fear of Failure" mode. My fear is that I won't hit my goal time for New Orleans. So hopefully, this is the kick in the pants that I need to man up and get my butt out of bed when it's cold and put some miles on the bike.

Running/Swimming are going pretty good. I'm seeing improvements in both and right now I'm running @ about 95%. Calf is still delicate but I think I've learned how to manage it and maintain it.

For the week, I ended up with:

• Cycling - 5:08
• Running - 3:48
• Swimming - 2:00
• Weights - 1:30

Work is still pretty crazy so this week will be a challenge workout wise. This was initially going to be a "rest" week but I think I'm going to delay this by one week so that I can coordinate some personal life items a little better. My goal for this week is to hit all of my bike workouts outside and on the prescribed time. (Bike Goal Time: 6:30)

On the personal front. I taught my middle son (Reed - Age 3.5) to ride a bike today. He was quite a trooper today and WOULDN'T QUIT until he was able to ride the bike about 30 feet. I was very happy for him....
