3rd HIM week

Yesterday was Friday. On Thursday, I became aware that I was almost certainly approaching my strength training improperly. I was training too often, too consistently, and not using complex enough routines. So I didn't do any stretches or strength training yesterday or today, nor will I do any tomorrow (I never do on Sundays anyway). Friday's only exercise was biking to and from work. Today, I swam a short distance and went for a jog, which took me to my half ironman goal for the week. The run was unusually fast; I logged my fastest 1k, my fastest mile, and (I think) my fastest 5k.

Long story short, I need to buckle down and settle on my goals. do I want to maintain a HIM every week, train for a full ironman, or something else? Is my strength training for mass, performance, etc? Simply put, I'm wasting effort by failing to direct my effort at a specified goal.

As with most swim days, I got a fair bit done today. Grocery shopping, laundry, dishes, cleaning the litter box and cat fountain, filling my water jugs, and probably a few other things I forgot. Right now, I'm lying on the carpeted plywood floor of my home. I've been meaning to sleep on the floor for some time now, and I'm finally getting around to it. It's such a simple thing. I find myself drawn to simpler ways of doing things lately. Many meals have consisted of cold beans straight from the can.

I'm going to get rid of my stationary bike. It's old and shot. I can ride outdoors in just about any weather, and if I find that I can't ride outside for an extended period for some teason, I'll get a bike trainer off craigslist.
