Wasn't feeling it this morning.  I was very very tired this morning.  I pushed hard just to get out and do 3.1

Weekly Review:

Overall it was a good week.  I didn't get on the bike but I did get my flat fixed so I don't have a good excuse to tell myself anymore.   I was too busy to get in more than 1 swim this week but the swim I did felt good.  My knee is pretty much 100% and I have really been working on my form to help with better stability.  The weather is also really nice in the morning here so I'm loving my morning runs.  

I still feel better than I have in months.  I had 1 days this week where I decided to only run 3 miles because I was totally exhausted, but other than that I have felt good.  It took everything I had to do those 3 miles though.  This week will be much more of the same.  I will be gone starting Thursday so I'll be running in Vegas again.  I found a really nice running path there that goes for miles so I should be good for my long run.  I just won't be able to bike at all starting Thursday.

Overall, I am really happy with how I feel.  I am so thankful I am back to being healthy again.  It is amazing how much easier it is to get out and run when everything doesn't hurt.  The goal is to be smart and just keep maintaining where I am now for a while.

I had a solid week running.  The weather wasn't that great for riding this week, at least the days I could ride this week, so I didn't get on the bike.  I also couldn't fit a swim session in my schedule this week because I was so busy.  I was able to log 36 miles this week.  The past 3 weeks I have progressivly increased my mileage and have put in solid running workouts in even though I really don't have anything planned to compete in for long distance running until November.  It has just felt really good to get out and run.  

After the past 3-4 week of solid running I am going to take a recovery and cross training week.  My plan is only for about 3 miles a day this week and mix some biking into the workout along with some core and leg work.  I need to slowly start getting better at doing that.  I have slacked off the past couple weeks.  I think it's time for a recovery/cross training week to give my legs a bit of a rest.  I'll do a "long" run this week but it won't be any longer than 7 miles.

Overall I am feeling really good.  My legs feel strong and I feel like my form is improving which is allowing me to run faster with less effort.  At this point a 7:50 mile feels like an 8:30 mile.  At the same time, I'm looking forward to a recovery week to work some muscles that need a little attention and allow my running muscles rest a little.

Weekly Report:

I thought this week would help to make my legs feel really good but my 6 mile run on Saturday took everything I had.  I felt like I was getting weaker and weaker by the day.  I have had a lot going on with some projects I have going on right now so I have been out of my mind busy and pretty cruntched for time.  Needless to say it was a good thing that I only did 3 miles a day.  

I will be going to Houston this week starting Wednesday night to teach a course so my running may be on a TM at the hotel for a few days.  I'll have to see what the running scene looks like where I am staying.

I never got on the bike this week.  I really thought I would but with everything I had going on I just couldn't find the time.  Plus, I was pretty tired all week.

This week will be another week I shoot for about 35 miles.  Crazy to think that real marathon training will begin the end of July.
