discipline

last week's lull in training has carried over to my motivation/discipline levels this week. for sure, the weather and early darkness hasn't helped but i should be motivated now with races coming up tomorrow, next weekend and the first two weekends in december. however, on the trainer last night i feel like i only gave a half effort. i just couldn't make myself get going - with the past two weeks of training tomorrow should be interesting. if somehow i have a good race, this will serve to reinforce these behaviors. this might be the one time a bad race would be useful (like the old sports journalism favorite question 'is there ever a good loss?').

anyway, with the snow/ice/cold i haven't been able to ride into work since monday. the weather is looking improved for next week so hopefully i can get back into that routine for a few more weeks.

happy friday.
