Challenge 2, Day 47

Ok, week 7 of this challenge has less than stellar.

Monday was Labor Day and since I didn't get up to go workout first thing in the morning, I just never got around to it. Tuesday, I did not wake up to run before work and my schedule was too tight to to fit in either a workout at lunch on the way home from the office. Wednesday, I went ahead and did a HIIT workout on the treadmill since I think aerobic work more than weights. Thursday I did a HIIT on the treadmill as scheduled.

I got really motivated last night to ride my bike. I was going to take my son on a ride but he fell asleep before we could go so I got out of bed this morning at 5 am, got out on my bike about 15 minutes later and did a 14 mile ride in about an hour and fifteen minutes. I rode basically the same course as last Saturday but turned around earlier due to time constraints. I was feeling tired this morning but pushed myself to make it to the gym for an UBWO at lunch. I feel good after the fact but I'm still tired. I think part of my problem today is I should have gone to bed earlier last night and my blood sugar might have been low because I had not eaten very much this morning before my UBWO.

Now that we are past the worst part of the summer around here, I am starting to think more about riding my bike. I am thinking about trying to ride in the morning on my weight training days, maybe around 15 to 20 miles at least twice a week. The other day I will either run a short distance or workout on the Nordic Track. I think I want to start riding on Saturdays as my cardio session on that day. If I actually follow through on this, I could be riding upwards of 50 miles a week depending assuming optimum mileage (15 miles on the two weekday rides and 20 miles on the weekend ride). Well its just a thought for now....
