I have a bit of problem in that I like to schedule out a week of workouts, and when I miss two workouts, then the week falls apart. I don't know how to fix it yet, but if you find yourself wondering why you have a great first half of the week and then a crappy second half, take a look at the missed workouts. I'll bet you find a trend.
This week's training fell apart. I was all set mentally for a great week of training. I got up early Monday for the bike workout. I ran in the snow at lunch on Monday.....and then I felt the calf muscle cramping up and feeling really tight Monday afternoon. I don't know what happened, maybe it was running on my toes more or something like that in compensation for really icy roads. Anyway, I haven't run since that Monday lunch run, and it's just barely getting to the point where I want to get back to a run. The no running then killed my motivation for biking in the motivation.....kind of funny, if you would talk to me at night, I couldn't wait to get up in the morning for a ride; then the alarm went off and I couldn't care less about it. I have to learn to beat that mental game like that and accept that no running doesn't mean no progress...it just means I don't run and all bike or swim can BUT DON"T HAVE TO make up for the lost running.
