Another whole week past

Rather than doing another boring workout recap, I am going to ramble instead.  Overall, it was an ok week of training.  I received 3 books from Amazon: Triathletes Training Bible, Training Plans for Multi-Sport Athletes, and Going Long.  I have started going through the Training Bible, and it keeps referencing the difference between newbies and seasoned athletes.  One of the major differences is training randomly vs training with a plan.  The pros use a plan that does not change daily.  They have specific goals.  They work towards those goals with and without emotion.  They allow emotion to drive them and to drive their passion.  But professionals do not let emotion drive their workouts.  Emotion can not drive daily, weekly, or season long workout plans.

For the time being, I am going to continue with my "amateur" approach.  However, by the end of the week I intend to have developed a steadfast plan that I can direct my effort into.
