Took the day off - unfortunately - the foot did have some bother to it late yesterday and intermittantly today.  Not exactly pain or discomfort - but not nothing, which I had hoped. Anyway - we took Delaney out for brunch to Milton's - for her birthday as she came home from school for the weekend with us.   My last year of having a teen-aged daughter...

AM - cross training - indoor cycling of about 8 miles.  Tired.  Tracy has had the flu for several days, and she's been up at nights coughing - and as a result - I have too.  Fully expect to get the bug myself eventually.  Looking as though there will be lots of weather just to the north and east of us.  ATL just missing out on the real winter weather this time around. 

PM - 1600 meters of swimming.

AM - 6500 meters on the indoor rowing machine.  Then 1 mile of running on the treadmill.  

PM - cross training still - 1600 meters of swimming at lunchtime.  Outside pool today - water temp was 82, but outside temps were in the low 40's and windy making for a chilly surface.

AM - same as yesterday - 6500 meters of indoor rowing and then 1 mile of running on the treadmill.  

PM - roughly 1750 meters of swimming.  I frequently lose count of laps.  Generally figure out by time how far I have gone.

PM - lunchtime - combination of cross training on the elliptical and running at the gym.  I did run a little further on the indoor track - probably close to 2 miles.

AM - 6500 meters of indoor rowing.  Foot was a little achy after yesterday's effort.  Will give it a rest today.
