M: Bike commute 15 miles. Tu: Run 4.5 miles. Set some PRs without trying. Felt really good for last half of run. W: Got soaked head to toe watching my daughter's XC meet... beginning stages of hypothermia (very mild). Lift while watching TV... shoulders/arms. That warmed me up. Th: Heart rate monitor shows I did something of short duration after work, but I don't remember what. F: Ride 26 miles... 4 mile morning commute, 9 mile ride to meet family at restaurant, 13 mile ride home. Half of the ride home was in the dark. I was properly equipped with head/tail light (and neon green shirt) and picked a route with little traffic and very wide shoulders. It was pretty fun. Gotta remember to keep my reflective vest in my travel bag though. That would have completed the ensemble. Sa: Install foundation framing and lay geotextile fabric for new shed. Su: Light yard work all day, including dismantling an old trailer that has been gathering dust (well, leaves) for the past 10 years.
Weight held steady.

week of Oct 7 - Sun 1270.1 calories treadmill
- Tue: a single set of low weight cablecross workout. Took it nice and slow as I have not worked with weights for a time. I can feel it.
- Wed: Treadmill 1266.2 calories. Well harumph! My weight loss of a bit over 15 pounds means I do not burn as many calories per hour and that means to burn those calories, I have to work harder. Harumphhh.
- Thu: Treadmill 1300.3 calories.
- Sat: I've decided that trudging around gear whiles planting plants in the wind blown desert was a work out. 3 hours of doing stuff.

I got 6 yards of stone delivered for the foundation of my 12x20' shed (which will be arriving in a week or two). The ground is so soggy that the truck had dump it in our driveway, then I had to haul (through soggy lawn and mud) with a wheelbarrow. Good times.
M: Haul stone Tu: 5.5 mile trail run. Rolled my ankle with 100 yards to go. Thankfully, not bad and it didn't give me problems the rest of the week. W: Bike commute 12 miles Th: Bike commute 17 miles F: Bike commute 28 miles Sa: Haul and hand-tamp stone in-place Su: Haul and hand-tamp stone in-place. Rip apart an old trailer with a sawz-all. Mow parts of lawn with a push mower.
Calories in were less than calories out every day except yesterday... when I ate about 500-1,000 calories more. My appetite was just insatiable. Probably from burning nearly 4,000 calories the day before. This morning when I stepped on the scale I found I gained 3 lbs in 24 hours.

M: Walk dog 1.5 miles Tu: Bike commute 13 miles W: Nada... watch my daughters XC meet Th: Bike commute 15 miles F: Bike commute 13 miles. Work on shed foundation. Burned 3,700 calories. Sa: Work on shed foundation. Walk dog 1.5 miles. Light yardwork. Burned 3,500 calories. Su: Finish shed foundation! Light yardwork. Burned 3,300 calories.
Weight remained stable. After a month of just maintaining weight, I think I'll try to lose a bit of weight before Thanksgiving.
Due to temperature and fading daylight, it's getting harder to bike commute. It's about time to transition to gym workouts / weights.

Week of Oct 21 - Sun:
Cable Cross, 2 sets, lowest weights - Tue: Hike 6 miles 1 hour 54 minutes

The 2nd sprint was 2 tenths of a mile where I stayed above 4.2 miles per hour and hit 4.7 miles per hour. The thrid sprint was up a bridge where I hit 5.3 miles per hour and, at the top of the bridge, I was kaput. I still had about 2 miles to home. I did the best speed possible with a tired body.

Whelp.
In true Idiot fashion (that's Idiot, with a capital "I"), I ran the Denver Rock and Roll Half Marathon on Sunday with barely any training. And finished, just 14 minutes slower than the previous year. But wow, am I ever paying for it.
Sore muscles aside, I won't be doing that again. And besides, I really want to get faster.
Also, my husband and I have plans to hike in Nepal in the next couple of years, so more elevation gain and rocks are in my future.
Trail running, here I come! I feel like I have ADD.....

It’s been raining so no lap swims and bicycling’s been iffy at best. Tried 700 individual stairs of The Bisbee 1000 until the rain and lightning finished it up for me.

I been testing out the SaltStick fast chews. I like em, they are sour, which is a kick, and the do a good job of providing some replacement.
I been, of recent, incorporating into my workouts a 'workout till fail.' I figure that if I do not, periodically, workout and push the limits, I will not exceed. I think the biggest contribution to being able to work out to fail has been scoring my numbers and viewing my numbers on a graph.
Today, whiles at the gym, I watched a young woman using the row machine. Each time she looked into the mirror her form was great. a few strokes after she looked away from the mirror her form went to crap. During a pause in her routine, I was able to discuss this matter with her. She immediately began working on her form by looking into the mirror, where her form would go good, and, not looking into the mirror, doing 4 strokes, and then looking into the mirror again. This routine gave her good results and soon her muscles will remember the good form position.
Unless, to my thinking, one can see themselves one will not improve.

@idahowalker , I used to use SaltStick capsules. We've actually changed over from SaltStick to the Pure Vitamin Club Ultra Salt. Salt Stick Supplement Facts Pure Vitamin Club Ultra Salt

Last week was my recovery week. I finally felt like I had my legs back Wednesday afternoon. Recovered in 2.5 days isn't too bad.
M-W Rest Th: Back in the pool for 500 yards of drills F: Nothing. Sa: Hiked with the dogs about 3 miles at our local state park Su: Hiked with the dogs about 3 miles at our local state park
Hoping I can find a routine this week. We have a dousing of snow (at our house) and rain (in the flats) moving in Tuesday. Just need to stay motivated and remind myself I have a membership to the community center and to use it. lol
