Hi All-

Well, plans are a funny thing. I was sick last week and diagnosed with Lyme Disease so did not workout. More sadly I had to withdraw from my 2nd Triathalon.

My plan for this week is simple. I am going to SLOWLY begin to exercise. I plan on doing some walking/jogging, swimming, and biking. No specific goal just to do what I can tolerate.

Have a happy and healthy week!

Just be careful not to over do it. I know when you exercise a lot it is hard to make ourselves relax and not push ourselves.

I would do basic walking for now till you feel better.

Lyme disease can be really serious. I am sure you already know that.

I just know how I am. I was not feeling well this past week. I was having some issues with the heat. I pushed myself and I ended up in bed. I could hardly get up.

I hate to feel like that. I wasn't sure if I had a bug. I think now it was I was dehydrated.

I love to walk. I love to be outside. I try to stop in my walk to look around at nature. I saw so many turtles this morning at the lake.

Walking helps me clear my head to.

Feel better man.

I'm heading to gym after my allergy shots today

Did day 1 of couch 2 5k last week on Monday or so, my shin muscles were toast lol. Having not ran in several years, they had plenty of lactic acid to flush out...

I'm feeling like I never did the run, so after my workout today I'll tackle day 2. Hopefully it wont set me back like day 1 lol

Planning on lifting 5 days this week. May just do 4 (with running) + 1 day of running only. A friend from church asked me to work out with him some to keep him motivated, so will hit another gym Saturday

I want to start swimming so that I can train for a tri. For now just a sprint I think. The cycling part I doubt I'll even do much training for, not a big deal for me. Did a century without riding for about 5 weeks. I paid for it, but thats 100 miles... If I can get the running down, swimming is also pretty easy for me but I def need to get in and log some miles consistently.
