My weight loss this week was a nice surprise that came on the heels of a frustrating performance on an exam (I still have no idea what was wrong with me; my brain just pretty much blanked out on a couple of important concepts; by the time I got home, I had them back -- very, very annoying).
I hope to keep it going through the next week. I don't have school to force me out of the house, and this time of year I really start feeling the lack of daylight (which mercilessly saps my motivation), so I'm either going to have to find reasons to get out on the bike or I'll need to dust off the treadmill downstairs (with a race coming up on Saturday and my left knee feeling a little sketchy, I don't want to go running on the pavements).
While I don't normally take an "off season," I think this year, once school is out for winter break, I do think I'm going take a couple weeks off the bike and run instead. I'll still use the bike to get around, of course, but I want to focus on developing some better running fitness.
That will both enhance my fitness on the bike and open up opportunities for foot racing next year, which sounds like fun. I've done a couple of 5Ks, and I'd like to do a bit more of that and maybe some shorter-distance trail runs.
