August Round Up

Oh hey, another month down and another month of me not really hitting my goals. I did manage to finish the CO Trail challenge, though, and "race" two tris as part of the Feisty Team's Feisty Games (... over the course of several days. I regret nothing).

This year, man.

Anyway, on to the numbers, shall we?

Swimming: 14050m (8.7 mi)
Cycling: 112.51 mi
Running: 35.66 mi
Strength: 31 sessions (5:29)
Other: three hikes (2:24:26), two walks (1:20:51)

Swimming was the only thing I met (and exceeded) my goal on this month. I'm trying to get back to my bare minimum 10K a month again and right now, it's working. The process of getting to the gym so I can guarantee a lane is kind of a pain in the ass, but I'm still grateful that I even can swim, so there's that. Hopefully that gratitude keeps continuing.

Cycling ... just ugh. I really need to get out on my bike more and I REALLY need to get back doing hills. The 40K ride I did as part of the Feisty Oly tri was NOT fun. Ugh.

Running has weirdly been coming around. I had a speedy run in Vegas before we left (went for B's birthday) and then the 10K I did for the Feisty games was only a minute slower than the SMASH virtual Mother's Day run (which I went hard at). I'll take it.

Not as much extraneous stuff (hiking and the like) and with the weather changing, I'm not so sure that will change either. But maybe. We'll see.

I don't know. 2020 is weird. Planning is hard. All I try to keep doing right now is to move my body and maintain some semblance of fitness.
