Too much lounging around

Okay, I know this already, but I have to say it again. Taking, almost, a week off of training is bad.

Yeah, it wasn't the brightest spot in my life, and completely avoidable, but nevertheless I missed a few workouts while I was away on business. In fact from the long run last weekend till my long bike ride this weekend I only ran ~1.5 miles. Pretty pathetic, and I'm paying for it now.

On Saturday, I did another long bike ride around 20 mi. I can't say that it really went well though, since for the first 5 miles or so, I was already breathing hard and legs tired. After that I seemed to settle more into a rhythm and just kept pace. Recovered yesterday, then rode into work tonight, much to the complaint of my quads, who up until this point really didn't have much to say about the whole deal. Oh well.

As for this week, the plan is to run Mon, Wed, & Fri, with an Interval, Regular, & Long run respectively, and then bike to work as often as I feel the need, probably at least every other day.
