We are having a Barf-o-thon going on at my house right now. I’ve got 4 kids and 3 of them have been puking off and on the last couple of days. I didn’t sleep well last night and thought maybe I was coming down with the same so I decided to skip my morning swim. I added this 3 mile walk as consolation.

Still have a sick house!!! Haven't been able to get my training in. However, I'm committed to walking on the treadmill on my non run days.

Everyone is still sick at home with stomach flu. I took the day off to help out. Hopefully I don't get it. Did my walk tonight as today should have been my swim day.

| Ran 3.5 miles tonight. My first three miles was 41:30. I’ve been off my regular workout but at least I’m getting cardio in daily. I’ll be back on track starting tomorrow. IjustRun made me run tonight, thanks for inspiring me. 3.5 miles – 50 minutes - Eckroll www.saveafatty.com | |

| Rode 30 miles today. I’ve heard about bonking and today I’m pretty sure I did. At about 21 miles I had to get off the bike and sit down. I was nauseous and drained of energy. The funny thing is I had just told my riding partner how good I felt and literally 100 yards later everything changed. I drank some water and Gatorade and rested for about 15 minutes and got back on and continued even though I didn’t feel well. I kept drinking water and Gatorade and felt better the further I went. I did complete the ride but it was hell doing it. About 3 miles from the end my quads started cramping up. I did a lot of running this week and also dieting so I suspect I was already low on stored energy. I’m also sure I was not prepared with my hydration before starting. So lesson learned. I hope my anxiety about riding goes down before my next ride as right now I’m a little scared to be out on the road and have that happen again. For my next ride I’m going to bring my glucose meter and test every 10 miles and see if that was the issue. I’ll take Sunday as my rest day from now on so Monday’s will be my new pool day. The good news is that I’m 213. - Eckroll www.saveafatty.com | |

It’s been a couple of weeks since i’ve been in the pool. I went 1000 yards at about 30 minutes. I felt pretty good considering the time away. I did manage to drink a big gulp of pool water and try and drown myself. Other than that i was good to go.

We rode 15 miles today. Pace was very good. We were a little faster than 15mph so the ride was very quick for me. The hill that I found very challenging is was much easier this second time around. This was also a good ride to get my anxiety down since my experience last weekend. I NEEDED to get back in the saddle quickly. So all in all a great workout.

| Ran my best 3 mile tonight. I've managed to knock several minutes off my time the last three weeks. I'm finally sub 40 (I know it's slow but I'm proud of it). Next stop sub 30. Hopefully I'll reach that goal this year. 3 mile - 38:40 - Eckroll www.saveafatty.com | |
