Anyone else here being a bum?

[Tri Girl]

I've been a bum this week, too! I only ran one day, rode my road bike one day, and mtn biked 2 days. Sad, but true. I'm like you- I need a "mental" break from training every now and then or I just wear out.
We'll get back on the wagon tomorrow- no worries! For now, enjoy the day off and relax (and probably eat a little more than normal- what the heck- Christmas only comes once a year).

I have been a complete bum and I am feeling slightly guilty about it. I have two running books to read through today ( The Runner's Handbook, Bob Glover) and (The Complete Runner's Handbook, Bob Glover) and get a training plan going for me. Before now I was simply following a running guide onlione. I also have doctor's clearance to begin riding on my trainer.

I smell dinner, yum. I would go for a run today, but it is, again, raining.

I shall spend today having fun with my family and educating myself more or training and tomorrow my training programme shall begin.

I'm hanging out with the family, listening to jazz and feeling completely indulgent. I've had about 6 pieces of chocolate and there will be no riding, running or swimming today. Probably not for a few days. I'm visiting the outlaws in LA and I always find it hard to make myself go out an train in LA.

Remember that you only lose about 1% of your cardio fitness if you take off one week completely. The next week back always feels a little tougher but it comes back really fast and it's great to have a mental break.

So I have resigned myself to the fact that there will be very little training this week and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.

Bring on the turkey and post meal poker game.

Ho Ho Ho.

I have also been a bum. We have been in to process of moving and school has been out, my running partner (the four legged kind) has been at Grandma's house and work has been more. I haven't had time and made my own excuses. I will be back soon enough.

I'm off another week but because of all the holiday and family obligations, have not had a chance to be a bum yet. Tomorrow's the day, and I plan to be a bike bum. Yay, I finally get to ride my bike! It'll just be a slow, fat-burning winter ride, though - no real working out yet.

Hey! That's not being a bum... riding your bike slow doesn't count as being a bum.

Now, sitting on the couch and not moving all day long... that's being a bum.
