Kind of blah. Just not feeling the running once again. Need to get back to four runs a week and it will feel more like a habit. Just easier to ride some days when I don't get out earlier in the day and end up on the trainer at lunch or when the boys are napping.

Off.

Blah. Turned off my alarm once again. Another zero. Will try to avoid too many of these for the month of April as the rest doesn't do much good.

I took the boys for a walk in the back field and on the subdivision trails. It rained a bit, but at this point they need to be outside and moving as much as possible. The house is somehow too small already. We saw a snake, which the boys enjoyed.

PM: ~105' on the trainer. 

Zwift Race. Same as last week. Faster with similar power and HR. 56:18' @ 281W. HR 175.

Tried to push the pace of the chase group, which really did nothing. I just wanted to put up a given set of numbers and although workouts can sometimes work that way races really don't. Stayed with the group I was with this time into the sprint. Beat some people but others beat me. Should probably race in the C category but I am too heavy for the power I am putting out, but I am not sure how strict the disqualification system is.

A good effort, just frustrated where I am at with both running and cycling fitness and overall weight. Can't seem to get it to move. 

Semester work is picking up and I am to the point in the semester where I have no idea how I am going to get it all done.

Seem to be making it pretty consistently this year, which feels good. Trying to remember any particulars of the ride, but I am 2+ weeks behind on my entries.

Loop Data: 18.1 MPH, 204W. HR 159.

Warm and windy. Kind of frustrated running. Just keep going back and forth wheather or not I want to run for training.
