Need to get my sh*t in order ...

A week and a half into my training and it's obvious I need to get my sh*t in order. It already seems like there aren't enough hours in the day and my training is pretty light right now compared to what it eventually will be.

Sooooo, like people who track every expense in a given time period to see where their money is really going, I'm going to track my time over the next week to see where it really goes. I'm hoping this will help me find some wasted time that I can put towards training. A few things I've already identified :

- Need to use my mornings (i.e. prime running time)
- Spend less time getting ready for work.
- Leave work at work.
- Need to go to bed and wake up at more regular times.

Training for this past first week wasn't bad. I haven't yet felt run down or super tired. But, I'm sure it's on its way.

Tuesday - speedwork run (treadmill)
Wednesday - CrossFit (as a substitute for not making it out biking)
Thursday - run (outside)
Friday - CrossFit
Saturday - bike (on trainer)
Sunday - nothing (should have run)
Monday - run (to make up for Sunday - treadmill)

Saturday's bike ride was in the basement on a trainer due to this weekend's torrential downpour. Interesting learning : I have no problem running on a treadmill -- time seems to pass pretty quickly. On a trainer though, time goes by painfully slow. Ugh. I'm going to need to find a way to change that given the cold months are coming up quickly and all my rides will soon be indoors.

Yup - that's an old PEUGEOT bike. I'll replace it with mine
once the weather turns cold.
