It’s been a while since my last progress update. I’ve been in a bit of a motivation rut this past couple of weeks. Well, it was bound to happen at some point. I’m sure it won’t be the last time, either.
It happens
In a strange way, it’s nice to know that it can happen. Being in a rut means you were not already in one to begin with. I guess that’s something 
Thankfully, I was able to push through the scheduled training volume anyways, just not at the effort level I would have liked. The runs were slower, with many more walking breaks than I should have needed. I’m hoping I haven’t lost too much of the progress I had made in my fitness level.
My biggest struggle, at the best of times and at the worst of times, remains the nutrition side of things. During this little rut I had some pretty bad food days. I won’t get into the details, but they are not pretty.
Despite this low point, I still managed to drop a pound and a half % body fat. Three cheers for my newly revved up metabolism!

Next Week
My priority for the week is pretty straight forward. Stick to my workouts, and get my food intake back under control.
Also, when I tweeted about being late with this update I mentioned having a good excuse. I was not talking about the rut. I’ve been spending a lot of time working on a bit of a secret project. It’s triathlon related, and hopefully will get off the ground, but right now it’s just an idea. I’ll share more details when I can.
