Ordinarily, I would make up, at least some miles on Monday, my scheduled rest day. But I had to drive to Alabama for work. Didn't get home until after 8 pm due to an interstate closing wreck. Tuesday night was a professional society meeting of which I am Vice President. I really couldn't in good conscience skip the first meeting of the year.
So finally, last night, I had time to work out. Of course it's raining, so running is out. But I did manage 30 minutes of biking on the trainer. It's something. Tonight is my boyfriend's dad's birthday, which means I can't make it to swimming, but can at least run I'll probably have to cut the run short. But it's something. And at least it's a pretty day.
The take-away from this week, is that it's still early in my training plan. Missing a couple runs, even long runs won't make or break my race. The trick is to make sure that I get back on track, and don't let one bad week completely derail the following weeks.
On a side note, I found a great use for that one banana that you never quite get to eat and has turned black (it doesn't matter if I buy three bananas, or five- somehow, there's always just one leftover. Not quite enough for banana bread).
Banana Corn Muffins (from Cookinglight.com)
Ingredients
- one very ripe banana
- one 8 oz. box of corn muffin mix
- 1/2 cup milk
Turned out really well. So well that I ate almost all of them. Not my best moment of moderation.
