1. Weekly Stats: April 30th - May 6th

    May 7, 2012



    Total Distance: 60 miles
    Total Time: 5:30

    Monday:  Crummy swim I didn’t even log. Reached a low point in my swim mentally

    Tuesday: 13.5 miles on the indoor trainer in the morning, 4 mile run after work. Lots of calf soreness

    Wednesday: Scheduled day off!!

    Thursday:  6 miles on the indoor trainer until my achilles started acting up again.  Skipped my evening run.

    Friday: 1800 yard swim, got my head on straight and finally had a reasonable swim.

    Saturday:  5.2 mile run, going for 6 miles but IT gave me problems

    Sunday:  Beautiful 30 mile outdoor bike ride!

    Overall, not the best week, but ended on a good note.  I was mentally exhausted and had trouble waking up a few mornings.  Skipped both of my scheduled strength workouts.  Plus my problems with my achilles, calves and IT band popped up, and my mental swimming block came to a head.  I decided half way through this would be a recovery week, clearly I needed it.  

    Still somehow ended up with my highest mileage week of the year.  Funny how my recovery weeks always seem to end up like that.
