The training continues... without a good bike

I'm just rounding out my week of training, on today's schedule is a 1.5hr run in zone 2 (with surges into Z3). This seems to be my standard run during this phase of my training, regarding the HR Zones, the time varies a bit. I just gave my friends blog a quick read, she live in MI and is training for her first Marathon, reading her blog reminded me of time I ran with her and running in MI. One great thing about that state were the 100's of miles of running trails. Here in my tiny city, I can run the perimeter in 5miles, so I tend to run the same route my attempt to change it up involves doing an out and back vs. a circle. I'm really looking forward to moving out of this city.  I have 4 months left in my contract... that's 4 more months of miles on my own. The most exciting thing I can do is run on the roads and find new routes. The sidewalks in Korea are made of bricks, so they aren't ideal for running. It's best to stick to the bike path or the roads. As I've learned the hard way, the roads aren't the safest place to be. Nonetheless, this evening I'll set off to complete my 1.5hr run, maybe thinking about the trails in MI, or my old trials in TX... and try and avoid starring at the massive spiders that line the trail in Anseong. 

This week is my biggest week so far in this training plan. I've got 10.5hrs schedule between running, biking, and swimming. I don't have any weight sessions schedule, so I'll add a few in on my own. My swims have just passed the 3k mark, I'm really looking forward to them! 

I finally have a meeting scheduled with the insurance company, it's Tuesday. From what I've been told, it should go something like this: here is our offer xxxxxxx; I'll either agree or disagree, possible make a counter offer, and see if an agreement can be reached. I would like to reach an agreement. I really need to get back on the bike (on a good bike). Keep your fingers crossed the offer given is something I can agree with. If it's not, I'll have to look into what the next steps are... assuming it will involve me taking the insurance company to court. I really don't want to waste my time and energy on that, so I am really hoping that the insurance company will settle at a good price with me and I'll have enough money to fix/replace my old bike. :)
