Plans? What Plans?

Since signing up for Eugene life has been a bit of a roller coaster. I plotted out a beginning 4 week plan to build a base. I think this may be the most challenging part. Life circumstances have led to lack of motivation and a few more extra pounds than I would like. I am determined and hope I don't feel too discouraged as I know I will be hurting.

Marathon training officially begins tomorrow. But it seems plans don't ever stay the same. We are dealing with a big curve ball with my hubby's chemo treatment. He has been in the hospital for 7 days trying to process a drug. This was not the plan. The hospital is an hour plus away so this involves lots of driving for me. We are only a month in and his kidneys are not doing well and appear to be damaged. This means Plan A has to change involving other meds that hopefully his body can tolerate. This is tough. His entire protocol for the next 6 months will change. We want the best chance to beat this thing but as with everything we are not in control.

So my marathon training may change as well. It kind of amazes me how people around me "plan" anything. The assumption of "tomorrow", "next week", and "next year" has been halted for us.

Today I felt so frustrated. I just wanted my hubby home. I was at the end of my rope. Walking around the house eating...anything. After some trial and error I jumped on the trainer and got in a solid 20 miles. I really love my trainer. Too bad I am not a fan of riding outside (baby steps). However I am kind of day dreaming about a summer tri!I love running. I love swimming...it is just that darn bike.

I got caught up in the Women's Purdue and Nebraska game.
