Here's this week's recap
Monday
PM Workout:  Treadmill - 4.31mi, .31mi warm up walk, 2.04mi @ 14:16 per mi, .46mi walk, .78mi @ 14:43 per mi, .72mi cool down walk
Notes:  I couldn't run as much as I wanted to tonight, but I did what I could and got some miles in.  I am feeling stiff and sore right now and I know that's to be expected.

Tuesday
REST
Notes:  So tired that I fell asleep on the couch as soon as I got home from work.

Wednesday
PM Workout:  Treadmill - 2.51mi, .30mi warm up walk, 2mi @ 14:59 per mi, .21mi cool down walk
Notes:  It was a tough work out tonight.  I am feeling the time off more than just physically.  I'm feeling it mentally, in a lack of confidence, endurance and strength.  I have a long way to go again.

Thursday
PM Workout:  Treadmill Incline Workout #1 - 1.84mi, 30 minutes, up to 4.8mph, up to 10% incline
PM Workout:  Elliptical - 1.05mi,  30 minutes, resistance level 1, ramp 10%
PM Workout:  Bike - 10mi, 47 minutes, 12.8mph avg, resistance level 1
Notes:  I couldn't let the bad feelings from the day before get me so down.  I started with a killer incline workout on the treadmill - there was way more running than I'm used to and at an incline that I'm not used to either.  Then I jumped on the elliptical and that just made my legs in to jelly.  Finally I ended up with a nice ride on the stationary bike to round out the day.  I was super tired and sore by the time I was all done with this and I loved it!

Friday
PM Workout:  Treadmill 4.3mi walk @ 15:00 per mi
Notes:  Got in a good walk on the treadmill tonight.  Nothing fancy, but just good consistent movement.

Saturday
REST
Notes: I did absolutely nothing today.

Sunday
AM Workout:  Walk 2.27mi @ 15:36 per mi
AM Workout:  Treadmill walk 2.03mi @ 15:00 per mi
Notes:  Took the dogs out for a nice walk this morning - poor babies are as out of shape as I am.  Finished up with a couple more miles on the treadmill.

Training Notes
This week isn't quite as good as I wanted it to be, but it's a heck of a lot better than it's been in the last couple of months.  I know that I have a lot of work to do and I'm finally ready to do it again.

I did pretty well with food this week.  I returned to tracking everything I consume and planning out meals while accounting for workouts.  I had one day that wasn't perfect, but overall I'm very happy with how I've done this week and I hope that food combined with exercise will help the number on the scale next week.

It feels good to be back in a place where I can start putting in the time and doing what I need to do again.  How's your March going?
