And just like that...

..it is almost 3 months since I finished the Los Angeles Marathon.

This lame fitness hiatus brought to you by:
 1) a post-marathon funk
 2) a mini-medical detour due to a bad head bonk during my first trail run on April 9.
 3) a persistent lack of motivation and bad diet

Back to square 1 .. I need to start up again tomorrow with training. My plan is to bike/spin and row. As for running, since I feel like I'm starting over, I am going to shift my focus to time, rather than miles, paces, heart rates, etc. The data geek in me will, sooner-or-later, start obsessing again over those stats and pretty graphs. But for now.. it's just too discouraging.

My plan for this weekend.. baby steps, just a few small achievable goals:
 - Hit the road.. on my feet out there for 60 minutes.. run, jog, walk, skip.. it's all good.
 - Get my diet under control. Tracking and portions.
 - Volunteer (with my 7-yr old son) at the Special Olympics Summer Games in Long Beach, CA!!

Sorry I've been MIA on this blog..
