Testing my bounds and training myself

Well now that I have a free moment, I am going to attempt to post part of my training schedule, to see if this can be a regular part of this blog, or if I am doomed to fail at this.  Either way, it's going to be fun!

Well would you look at that!  Seems like it works!  Well than, I guess I will talk about it then.  Here is my training outlook, which I fill in on the Sunday before the week (I train on a Monday is the first day of the week) because only about a week out I know the particulars of my weeks schedule.  I also try to "slot" my workouts during the day which is what I accomplish with the chart below:

This helps me during the day so that it doesn't look like I am getting overhelmed, and the best part is that it doesn't take very long to plan my workouts for the week.  I do try to look out over a month, given where I am in a training cycle, but nothing too major.  Of course it is a work in progress, but in the first chart, I can look to see what my "workload" is for the week, with miles and hours (I do intensity as I feel, lame I know).

But that is just a small look into my madness of my methods.  If you have any comments or questions, let me know, thanks for reading.
