No Go

I'm not sure what it is but the last couple of days I haven't really had the energy or the drive to really train. Yesterday was a busy day and I didn't end up on the trainer until about 8:30. After I got through my warm up and started the intervals the legs just weren't up to it so I ended up just hitting a nice big ring tempo for about 45 minutes. Not to big of a deal I just didn't feel like I accomplished that much.

Today rolled around and I was supposed to meet with some people about a possible consulting deal but plans changed and the meeting didn't happen so I was left with the night I was supposed to have off and wondering should I train or not. I decided that I just felt a little drained and to take it easy and start back up again tomorrow.

My diet hasn't been the best in the last week either. I don't feel like I'm eating garbage or overeating but I've been catching myself falling back into my bad snacking habits lately. Then I kind of get down on myself. Changing my eating habits has probably been the most beneficial part of my training but also the most difficult. Man now that I start to look back at this post it's kind of a downer. Sometimes I guess it helps to just say what I'm thinking. Kinda like my therapy.

On a lighter note I was happy to see when I got home yesterday that my shipment of nuun had arrived. I decided to give the Kona Cola flavor a try since the place I buy it in town doesn't stock it. I had some while on the trainer last night and it wasn't bad but I think I like the Lemon+Lime flavor the best so far but I think the caffeine in the Cola could be nice during some races.

Now I think it's off to rest some more and hang with the kids and try to get my mindset right to start back up on training tomorrow. Later.

Your not the only one harp. I first read this late last night after I got out of bed and went down to the fridge.
