The buggo woke up on schedule at 7:15AM this morning. We snuck downstairs to try and let the better half sleep in after our late night planning session. We watched the sun peak up over the mountain and I was able to get in 15 minutes of standing meditation which helped the tired feeling go away. We has a nice breakfast and started getting things ready for our Saturday chores (dump, library, and bike shop if possible).
When the better half woke up we made a second breakfast (pancakes and hashbrowns) which was a great way to spend a Saturday morning. The buggo and I got a late start on chores and had to skip the bike shop. We had a good time at the library and took our time picking out some DVD’s (some for the man-cave where the bike trainer is set up and some for upstairs when he needs some down time) and stories.
When nap time came around I determined that I would get more out of the extra rest today than a run, so I took a nap also. I am feeling much better tonight and am looking forward to the week ahead. I spent a good amount of time tonight reading up on managing recovery for better training results (the first chapter of the nutrition book I was given).
Every step is a good one and this is what building is all about, but I need to get a workout in tomorrow to keep up the momentum. Flash is taking me out on at least 2 lunch-runs next week and I hope the rest this weekend puts a spring in my step.
Week 4 summary looks fair:
- 1 hour 45 minutes on the bike (Starting to get into the gears I was riding during the end of last season and took some time to adjusted riding position to a much better fit.)
- 60 minutes of core (Need more of this, I can feel it.)
- I also started throwing a budget together for entry fees and desired gear. It will be good to set a budget for this and start becoming informed regarding what gear is out there.
