my christmas vacation, and you can probably tell from the lack of posts in the last week that exercise has not exactly been a priority. I went out on the bike for 1.5 hours last monday (yes, a week ago), and my achilles tendon really started hurting about 30-45 min in, so I have been taking it easy. I figure if I can't pedal a bike, I better not even try running. I have started swimming (well, I swam once last week) again, and Sissy got me some new swim gear -- flippers, paddles, etc. so I figure that will help out.
I have also been eating a ton of junk/holiday food and have had a slight cold/allergies the last couple of days. My weight has ballooned to 209, a far cry from my 186 during race season, and the 175 I want to be at this coming race season. So when my training schedule for Gulf Coast 70.3 starts on 1/1/11, I will have my work cut out for me. As much as I enjoy the holidays, I can't wait for them to end so I can get back in a routine.
Today I may try cycling on the indoor trainer some (too cold and windy out there). But first I want to really warm up and stretch my achilles tendon. Don't know when my next post will be, but if you don't see it that means I'm not exercising.
