Back on Track!

Well, my last entry indicated our 9 days off with absolutely no training. It was more than a disaster on our body! But, I must say, I don’t think it was that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

It was so great to be home Friday, Jan 22nd! Right away we were back to making all our own high fiber, quality lean protein, various fruits and veggie meals! And quickly we return to basic aerobic, technique focused training. So, we are back on track with our training and our bodies are feeling much better!

We are building back on the bike, Rob’s back to running and I’ll be back to running this week. With the broken pelvis late fall, I didn’t want to just jump right back into running after 9 full days off. So, did we lose anything?? Well, I feel incredibly strong on the bike. My watts are higher, my HR is lower and my weight is steady - so I don’t think I lost a thing on the bike - but actually benefited from the altitude training and the rest after. I’m back at my Functional Strength work too and although I do need to get back in the pool; the good news is, I do not think the 9 days off set us back too far.

Attitude is everything, so when you miss your training, don’t let it tear you apart. Just focus on quality nutrition, good sleep and getting in the next quality workout!
