I'm back. Well the last couple of weeks have been pretty good for me. I have said since new years this would be a great year and so far so good. I mean, I haven't been able to blog about it but if not having the internet is your biggest problem, things are pretty good. In terms of training I have been slowly building my workout volume and focusing on the fundamentals especially in running and swimming. In swimming the results have been great, in running .... well it's still a work in progress but I'm headed in the right direction.

My last week went something like this

• Monday - 1500m swim followed by a upper body circuit
• Tuesday - Pilates on lunch. 7.2 mile run in 1:07 that evening (run felt great)
• Wednesday - 1200m swim before work. Lower body weights on Lunch. 500m swim and a hour spin class
• Thursday - Pilates on lunch. 3.1 on the Treddy after work
• Friday - 2000m endurance swim (first endurance swim of the year for me)
• Saturday - 10 mile run in 1:38
• Sunday - 20 mile bike

Since last week I have been having some ITB issues. Hopefully with more biking and cross training my recovery time between runs will speed up. We are a couple of weeks out from ING Atlanta and I would like to break 2 hours in my first half marathon. I don't think thats too outrageous of a goal especially if I can get the pain worked out. A positive attitude will take farther than healthy legs i'm convinced. Let's go March! (the month not a rally)
