Week in Review 10/20 -10/26/14

What a sad week this was and to be honest if things keep up the current week looks about the same. Only thing I can say about it is that the days have gotten suddenly colder and shorter which makes me less inclined to ride before or after work.

Numbers

Miles: 8.6
Elevation: 98 feet
Time: 39 minutes

Wow when I look at it like that it really drives it home.
I am maintaining my indoor workouts regularly. My knees sadly are not cooperating with the idea of running, but I am still getting out there a little bit. Not sure how long it is going to last because to be honest I just don't get any enjoyment out of running like I used to, I think it may be the level of discomfort I have to deal with every time I go out, things are just a bit less enjoyable when they cross over from the sore muscle to the sharp pain region.

I have decided to keep at it for a month and see if it gets any better but if not I will be looking for something else to keep me going through the cold months. With any luck by that point I will be able to wrangle an indoor cycle trainer so I don't lose too much conditioning.

So what else is going on in my world in relation to this last week? Not really a whole lot, mostly work and home. I am taking a look at some nutrition books and a variety of cook books in order to work up a good selection of easy to prepare meals and snacks that are healthy and fit my requirements.

Diet is quite possibly the most difficult area for me to work on at any time of the year. I like what I like and honestly have no desire to not eat an entire pot of chili on a cold day while I wash it down with a nice Porter or Stout all while playing D&D with my friends. What I do need to do is to keep in mind that this is exactly what has lead me to where I am now...sigh.

Anyways not too much to include in this update, going to work on making the next one an improvement both in activity and content.

As always comments, rants and questions are always fun to read so have at it. Until next time, keep it rubber side down.
