The song I had on repeat during my Friday travels.<\/p>\n

Checkin\u2019 IN!!!<\/h3>\n

This is one of those I don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> about the run around the \u2018Big House\u2019.  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 \u201cYou are supposed to stop here and die for a minute before we head back\u201d.  I kind of laughed and was like, I\u2019m not from here, but I am melting.  Quick smiles greeted me with a \u2018have a great run\u2019 and \u2018don\u2019t melt\u2019.<\/p>\n

The one thing that stood out to me, all the waves, the friendly hello\u2019s 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\u2019t chasing paces, but trying to rediscover my feel.  I think I have been trying to rediscover things for a bit now.<\/p>\n

I saw something in my FB feed where it said that we were 38 weeks out from the big day at St George.  It\u2019s 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 \u2013 Click Here for SzTri 2019 playlist \u2013 Youtube.<\/a>  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.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Activities \u2013 <\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I use the following trackers:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Garmin Connect (which pushes the files to the following services):<\/li>\n
  2. Training Peaks<\/li>\n
  3. Strava<\/li>\n
  4. and the ones I don\u2019t remember (Map my stuff via Under Armour and things like the Great Bicycle ride initiative stuff)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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 \u2018Links\u2019, then \u2018Track me\u2019 section to find and stalk me if that\u2019s your thing.<\/p>\n
