I started an Excel scheduling sheet

RUN 4 miles in 35 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles

The run felt good. I was up a lot overnight (as I have been the past week) with lots of congestion from this ongoing head cold. It's getting worse?! When you start marveling at just how much your sinuses can produce...  And when you start seeing lots of blood, yeah, you start wondering.

But little to no rib pain. Only when I sit up from reclined, when I use my arms to get into sitting position, when I roll the truck window up and down, that's about it. Not even strength training bothered it yesterday.

So with the sun shining, spring sprung, rib and shoulder on the heal, I'm eagerly starting to plan my spring summer training. Dr M encouraged me to get back to triathlon to balance things out. Can't say I miss the pool but I certainly miss my bike! Poor Frea is STILL parked in the basement. Big Shark has her ready to roll, just a case of doing it.

My Excel sheet has my current and my next schedules, a comparison of the 50M and 100M running plans, my PT sessions, commute plans, etc. Now I'm adding in goals: speed work, midweek ride, long run and long ride. I've mentioned to TH and LC that I'm looking for weekend rides.

There's a lot of apprehension on my part on joining a group ride, I really don't know where I stand on my abilities! Slow? Short? It's all relative, but it's safe to say here that I'm slowerer and shorter than I'd like to be, and than I'm used to being. Maybe this weekend I'll hit the MCT with Frea and see how it all feels.

Stuff to input in the schedule: at least one swim, maybe Monday morning or Thursday after the run? Run speedwork on Tuesday morning? A midweek ride other than the mentoring ride on Tuesday nights? And a long run/long ride weekend schedule.

I'm wasting time at work!
