Getting serious....

I think I finally have snapped out of the funk I have been in for the last year or so. My motivation to be a healthy, active person has seemed to have returned. For the last 10 days I've been eating "right", getting lots of rest and more regular with my exercise :) I've even dropped 3lbs in the last week...that always helps on the hills. Once I drop the other 10-15 lbs. of extra "fuel" I'll be feeling awesome! My focus for the summer will remain to get fit....total body fit. I will continue to focus on getting into a regular routine and hopefully by fall I've be able to start with some more intensity.

Spring...

...is allergy season. The last couple of weeks have been pretty rough on the sinus front. To top it off I've developed a nice cold/sinus infection. One more antibiotic to go and back to Claritin for a few more weeks.

Yesterday I had a nice road ride at Kensington and Island Lake. Really felt nice and enjoyed my time of the bike. I'm looking forward to an increase in volume over the next few months. Its May so I'll be adding a rollerski to the weekly mix. I've been looking into a lunchtime workout routine that should help me with my training frequency. I just need to get my bosses approval. It would have me working out at lunch Tue-Thu. Eventually, it would look something like - Monday=core strength, Tue=1hr rollerski, Wed=1hr road ride, Thurs=1hr run/core st, Friday=dirt road ride, Sat=early am 2hr ski, Sun=2hr ride. That would give me an hour of core, an hour of running, 4hrs of riding, and 3hrs of skiing. Not enough running, but as fall approaches we will convert some of those riding hours into running and skiing.

Anyway...all I have to do now is execute the plan and I'll be back into some kind of ski shape come winter...easy enough, eh!?

Game On!
