The song I had on repeat during my Friday travels.
Checkin’ IN!!!
This is one of those I don’t know where to start. Work-life kinda stepped up and stole me away for 2 solid weeks. During those two weeks, I was able to get a few running workouts in. Along the way, it was interesting to meet and interface with new colleagues and those for whom we provide Technology Management services. I had to remind myself along the way, that we each come with different strengths, points of view, cadences etc.
My runs were solid. I reminded myself with the loaded work stress, to concentrate on eating better, upped my protein intakes, quality of food, and then just cruised on my runs. I mentioned in my blogpost Click her to see post about the run around the ‘Big House’. I was able to repeat that run with a different set of eyes and a simple focus of just complete the time. There was what appeared to be a local running group, and as I turned the corner, one of them was like “You are supposed to stop here and die for a minute before we head back”. I kind of laughed and was like, I’m not from here, but I am melting. Quick smiles greeted me with a ‘have a great run’ and ‘don’t melt’.
The one thing that stood out to me, all the waves, the friendly hello’s from the non-running folks and just a general cool feeling, but the campus was not in session. My simpler run was nice too. I wasn’t chasing paces, but trying to rediscover my feel. I think I have been trying to rediscover things for a bit now.
I saw something in my FB feed where it said that we were 38 weeks out from the big day at St George. It’s an interesting space to be right now. I am thinking that I want to break things up into 4 major 8-week blocks with 1 week for each to be 9 weeks. That way I can concentrate on my base, then continue forward. I just posted a few new motivational videos. If you ever find yourself needing a good resource – Click Here for SzTri 2019 playlist – Youtube. I do not know who this person or group is, but they are fairly solid pieces of work that I tend to always find a gem of a motivational on any given day. Well, back to the grind and the consistency of #familybalancetri.
Cheers!
Activities –
I use the following trackers:
- Garmin Connect (which pushes the files to the following services):
- Training Peaks
- Strava
- and the ones I don’t remember (Map my stuff via Under Armour and things like the Great Bicycle ride initiative stuff)
Honestly, I mainly use Training Peaks as I pay for an annual subscription on it now, and it is the most detailed in data and other helpful information to keep me where I want to go. Use the ‘Links’, then ‘Track me’ section to find and stalk me if that’s your thing.
