Next Week is New Program Start

Wow, how time has flown over the past week or two. I've been super busy doing very little training and tons of planning, school work and writing. Seems like everytime I put my head down, words come a flying out.

Putting the finishing touches on my points program for next season, which starts Monday, strange as that is. But it goes something like this: I get points for doing things that aid my training, and I lose points for doing things that harm my training.

For example:

Bad = -points.
Skip workout = -5 points.
Eat junk food = -2 points.
Awake past 10:30pm = -2 points.

Good = + points.
In bed before 9:30pm = 2 points.
Ice legs in ocean after run sessions = 2 points.
Hit target paces/splits in key workouts as per goal outlines = 1 point.

I figure that I should have to work harder for points, and that the penalties should be large, that way there is added incentive to stay on track. There are more aspects to my points plan, but I am already approaching that 10:30pm hour here and I need to start practicing for next week, so G'nite.
