Wow, the weeks are flying by! I can't believe that we are almost into May. Time to get my training in gear.
I have been tracking my workouts on a calender website. It is nice to be able to glance at the calender and see my hard work. However there are two many blank days. I tend to go hard for 3-4 days and then take 2-3 days off. I know that is not optimal. It just seems like something always comes up (sick kids, kids vacation, injury). I am getting a little frustated. My bike time has increased dramatically. Last year it took my almost an hour to go 9.3 miles. Now it takes me 35 minutes. However my run time is stagnent (heel spurs in both feet!) and my swim time has taken a downturn. The worst part is that I have gained 5 lbs!
Who would have ever thought that my strongest leg would be the bike?
I know I just need to keep plugging away. I am still trying to balance my nutrition with my workouts. I incorporated carbs back in my diet. Not sure if they are helping my performance, but I KNOW they are not helping my weight. I am going to start back up with yoga to increase my upper arm strenth.
Group rides at the YMCA start next week. I am a little intimidated to join the group however it is probably the only way I will meet people. We will see if I chicken out or not!

Do not be intimidated by the group rides!! You will do fine! I won't be there until the end of May, but I hope to see you when I come!
