Last week's goals:
- run 3x - DONE - including an intervals session, something I haven't done in years - however I caught myself on Friday, realizing that I'd only run once so far in the week. I had to decide, was I just going to slough it off or get the runs in? I knew I'd added a few lbs during vacation, but a step on the scale and the shocking number I saw got me annoyed with myself. So I ran Sat & Sun, and have started using the ST training log again to track what I'm doing (or not). Sometimes being annoyed can be a good motivation tool. :-)
- ride 3x - DONE but just to & from work so not big distances
- skate 2x - DONE and being the first of the season it's hard and awkward and I can feel the benefits of the dryland (much stronger legs and core)
- grin like a fool :-) - DONE
- Bonus: got tons of work done on the house (mostly painting but a lot of trim needs repairing so it's sloooooow)
This week:
- skate 3x
- run 4x (I know I can do this)
- ride maybe once (school year means more driving than riding boo)
- more exterior trim repair and paint, some interior plaster repair and paint
3 weeks left to new job! eek! :-)

EDIT: I got some bloodwork back and wanted to share the difference since I started on my FODMAP diet journey (about a year now). By eliminating foods that I don't digest well (almost all dairy, almost all fruit, all beans/legumes, some veg - like asparagus, odd eh?) my TSH dropped from 1.29 (not bad) to 0.39 (perfect!) and more importantly, my cholesterol readings both dropped, LDL from 3.5 (high) to 2.9 and HDL from 3.0 to 2.7. High cholesterol runs in my family yet heart disease does not, but this is still good news. AP
