I think I have no idea what I am doing and how to keep track of the weeks. I had marked last week as week 14 (as in 14 weeks into the year), but it was really week 16 and it's week 17 now! This is what happens when I abandoned my blog for a few months!

I got home late from work last night. Normally this wouldn't be such a problem if/when I wanted to do a run in the morning, but why did I decide to watch tv when I got home? I didn't sleep all that great and it affected my run. At first, I thought I was just really unmotivated. Then I realized that I was just tired and needed more sleep. I'll feel better for my next run. Note to self: no electronics at night!

Week 14: Day 6 - April 21, 2018

• morning ride = 15.31 miles; time = 1:19:25; average speed @ 12.3 mph

Note to self: Eat before a run or ride, regardless of distance, whether I want to or not. My ride from yesterday could have been better if I ate beforehand and I lost some energy towards the end. I didn't feel weak or less energized from this morning, but I was hungry and maybe I could have felt a tiny bit better.

Week 14: Day 5 - April 20, 2018

• walk dogs = 2.5 miles total

I did a ride (bike) on a route that I hadn't done in four months. There were some major road work/construction on one of the streets during this time. There is still road work on the street, but CalTrans finally took out the concrete barriers, so it seems less scary. I also saw a cyclist ride on the street and pass through the road work, so I figured it seemed safe enough for me to ride through since he seemed just fine. Since I feel fine now, but I guess I'll have a better idea tomorrow if I am sore or not. I didn't do this route in awhile and it was hilly. If I am not sore in the morning, I am doing another ride.

So I thought I had made a post last weekend as reference for myself with total yearly mileage for both running and cycling, but I forgot to save it. Whoops. I'll figure it out tomorrow when I'm less tired.

My back had been feeling pretty good since my chiropractor visit on Wednesday...until last night when I was doing a little too much. I woke up with sciatic pain this morning. Since I won't be riding with my friends tomorrow (because the ride ends at 10am and I have to be at work by 11am), I did a ride today and am doing an easy run tomorrow morning, really early. My back finally felt better during the ride, but it took awhile.

So, I had an appointment with my chiropractor this morning. I have another appointment next week because my back needs more work done, but I can tell that my back is getting/feeling better. Now I'm curious to know how I will feel for my next run. My back usually feels better once my run is done, but it takes the first two miles to feel better.
