Sad News; Funny Story; New Plan

SAD NEWS:(

My training program was cancelled. Actually, its not that sad. These runs at 180 bpm were probably not doing anything good for me and there was only one guy with questionable sexuality ... so, as long as I don't become a sloth (As an aside, did you know that there is an actual animal called a sloth? Its creepy looking.) this winter, it'll be okay. And I get my Sunday mornings back which means I get my Saturday nights back ... which is fun. As for avoiding becoming a sloth - I've got a plan ... but first I've got a:

FUNNY STORY!

[Due to paranoia, the funny story has been deleted]

Now, for the:

NEW PLAN:)

Its not that elaborate, so hopefully you didn't get too excited. I downloaded a training schedule for a half-marathon in mid-March. It calls for 3 days a week of running which will be good for my pesky overuse injuries and 2 or 3 days a week of cross training which will allow me to still swim (which makes me have sexy arms ... and I like sexy arms) and bike (on the trainer, while I watch tv in accordance with the rules below).

As alluded to above, the new plan has rules:

1. Try to do this low heart rate crap for as long as I can stand it and determine once and for all if it works. Maybe a month? Low for me is below 150 which may not even allow me to run ... but I'll try.

2. Try to get workouts done in the am but, if I miss a workout, I miss a workout. No stressing or fitting a weeks worth of workouts into a weekend. Definitely no stress if work doesn't let me go to bed by midnight.

3. I really only watch 3 tv shows right now (Lost, The Nine and Grey's). If I'm watching them before midnight, try to ride the bike (at least for half of each show).

Hmmm, I guess these are rules, more then guidelines. Whatever.

I think that for now, this should be enough to allow me to keep my mind off of the baby/wedding bonaza/left fest going on around without getting too OCD. We'll see.
