Another horrible week. Aside from a few strength sessions, I got in zero running and zero cardio. I had closing for my new house and my cat had a bunch of ER visits. Barely got any sleep either. Fortunately my eating wasn't too terrible, although I didn't log anything due to other higher priorities.
Swimming
No sessions.
Cycling
No sessions.
Running
No sessions.
Strength
I didn't have time to get in any structured workouts, but I made sure to do my stretches for my back and did core work almost everyday.
Nutrition
Overall I ate pretty well, even though mostly at maintenance calorie levels. I got very little sleep all week, however, and felt pretty awful and sluggish all week.
Final Thoughts
Not feeling too confident right now for a good time due to the amount of training I have missed. I know I will complete the half marathon, but I am not sure I will come anywhere near the time I wanted. However, life events were far more important, so I'll just have to make due and try to have a decent Week 11 if possible.
I am a software engineer, currently working in the business intelligence arena. However, I am really big on systems thinking, process re-engineering, software integration, and software solutions. In addition, I am really into fitness and fitness technology. I am a runner for life, but hooked on triathlons ever since I did my first one. I hope to share my ideas for tech in the business world, tech as it relates to fitness, and my fitness journey.
