Well today I planned on doing the whole tri, and I got close. I think the 5 hours of restless sleep and hangover this morning may have hurt the progress. However, I did get the 400 m swim in, then I took a break to get my BF % measured and then went to the treadmill for a 1.5 mile run on incline 1 7.4 mph, then a 13 mile bike on rolling hills level 9, and then tried to get the last run in, but only completed about .6 mile and called it quits for the day.

So here are the numbers:
400 meters-9 minutes flat..something I’m really not improving on.
1.5 miles -12:17
13 mile bike-37:12
then the other .6 was in like 4 or 5 minutes because I fluctuated from 7 mph to 6.4 and then quit

The BF% is 10.4. I know that isn’t correct, but it was measured the same way it has been the previous 2 times. So that is down over 2% points since the last time and about 5% points since May. As long as they are consistent in the way they measure, then I can tell if it is going in the right direction. I was actually pleased with it since I haven’t been able to lift a whole lot for the past 3 weeks or so.

I’m out and I didn’t gain any weight from last nights adventure. I was 161 in the gym, and yes I have hit a plateau. I have been at this mark since the 1st week in July, but it could also be the bad weekends and times like last night that keep me around it.

Friday- I went ahead and edited this post this morning to include what I did this morning. I went running in my neighborhood, approximately 3.2 miles in 30 minutes. It was great outside this morning. I could even see my breath, but it was so peaceful and awesome. I plan on lifting tonight at 9, hopefully it will be a shoulder and upper back routine, but I’ll test the shoulder tonight and see.
