Observations/Intel: I think I jinxed myself with the prior post, as I got a bit on the sick side shortly after that, which took me a while to bounce back from. I was exhausted mostly through this last weekend as well, though after a very rough start this morning, finally got going. It wasn't a total loss, though...I've been cleaning up the diet a bit, and there was some weight loss sprinkled in there.

I was definitely excited to get back on the bike and it's getting a lot easier now. Air was not really tested, but Legs definitely held up a lot better tonight, even at a higher spin speed. My Right Knee has been a fucker on and off, so I'm going to some joint compound for a bit. I figured I would breeze to 100 miles for this year on the Air Dyne, but now I'm going to probably have to push a bit. Should still be in good shape, though...I think.

Observations/Intel: Well, well, well...getting a little rhythm going on the workouts and the mode is starting to take effect in that I'm now looking forward to them, even after today when actual work ran a bit late. Definitely was a bit tired for this one, so didn't push especially hard and I'm trying to aim now at a whole mile total, rather than any particular time, so long as it's at least 30 minutes. Diet is going to take quite a bit longer to corral as now I'm a bit late to do a shake and also have dinner, which I haven't had to this point. I did have a fairly high caloric lunch, though, so I'm not super worried about it, other than from a recovery perspective.

Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: I wanted to change up the schedule a bit as recovery is decidedly not great (and probably won't be until I more tune the diet, which I'm slowly working towards), so put my off days on a more appropriate schedule, in which I'm hitting both Tues/Thurs and Fri again resumes being my total off day. Yesterday, I woke up with some gnarly allergies and a headache, along with some kind of strange muscle soreness in Legs, so that day, which was maybe going in, was out. 

Today was a lot smoother as far as Legs went. I'm extending the time somewhat before they start to wear down and I'm going to gradually build time. Once I start getting close to the 60 min mark (or the end of the year, whichever comes first), I'm going to start adding in sprints and more focus on re-re-re-building cardio. Haven't done a weigh-in for a while and probably won't until next weekend. Air was not great when I woke up, but started to come around as the Zyrtec kicked in. Both Legs and Air are pretty bad at present, so I'm not overly concerned with even measuring which is outpacing the other.
