"Is It February Yet?"

It's important that February gets here because once it is, then March will be right behind.  And March is important because that's when I'm gonna start riding outside come hell or high water!  I don't know why it seems like I can ride without problems while running remains an adventure, and yet that's the way it seems to be.

Can you tell I'm just a wee bit discouraged today.  I had an appointment in London this morning so I had to miss my planned swim, and so my workout for the day was gonna be an easy run only.  I didn't get out there until nearly 2 pm, and I never made it to the end of the driveway before I considered heading back in.

I have continued to avoid checking any data including heart rate while I run, and yet I knew right away that it wasn't right.  However after a 10 second walk I decided to give it a go and managed a somewhat unpleasant run around the block.

I was interested to see what the data would show once I downloaded it, and sure enough my heart rate was erratic right from the start.  It settled down after about 10 minutes but it seems like the damage is already done by then.  Like I said, it was a struggle to finish, and now at 10 pm I feel crappy!  frustrating!  Aaaarrrrhhhh......

Oh well.

Basement bike tomorrow, and then I'm gonna try another long run on saturday.....I'm hoping...

And totally off topic, in the "you've got to be fucking kidding me" category, I learned today who owns the Future Shop chain of technology stores.  Maybe it won't shock you, but it sure did me!  Best Buy!!!
