Implementations & Intentions

BIKE 19.8 miles (ugh) in 1:20: 18:12, 18:04; 17:14!
COMMUTE 9.2 miles

I coulda SWORE the garmin said 20.42 miles when I stopped it. This is likely our last ride of the year and we pushed the last interval. I said I was going to measure only for fun, and to see that we come back next spring with similar interval times. 

Nice and warm outside, but cold and rain move in tonight. I don't get to run tomorrow. I can't put into words how this feels. On one hand, it was hurting to run and it was stressy to hurt and always be wondering what was wrong. On the other hand, I loved it and miss it and crave it. 

As a follow up to yesterday's lengthy post - here's some notes and news. Last night I fell into Azuc again, almost purposefully? But not a single bit of M. Win and Lose. The Azuc was to be my "treat" if I hit goals for M3. Hit the goals, and homed in on the treat so fast. So that tells me, the treat should be delayed or accumulated to another day. Ugh. Fail again. Feels miserable. It wasn't too much, it was How. 

I worked out some habit bundles or whatever they're called:

If I walk first, I get to play my favorite puzzle while tea brews before M3.
I get to watch YT videos while doing PT, foam rolling, etc.
For every chore, I get to check a reddit or news site. 
If I can get 5 "ideal M3" in a week, I get some weekend treat.
     I might change this to just accumulate 5 to get started
If I can get 5 less then 14-er days, I get some weekend treat.

These treats are as of yet undefined. Last night I found Azu doesn't work. 

Stupid way to do this. But let's see.

Today LA asked about going to sushi, and I waited a few minutes to reply. I weighed the options. Today, by the time I get home, walk dog, shower off the mice smell, get my dinner, drive 30 mins to St Chuck...it's late for me. Tomorrow, we can plan ahead. So tomorrow! Hey, maybe nailing the next 24 hours can include a treat there?
