Weekly Report:

My goal this week was to hit the 35 mile mark and I accomplished that so I'm pleased with the week.  I have not felt run down like I did so many times when I was injured and did 35 mile weeks.  Overall the legs have felt good.  Of course they have been tired and some runs took a little more than others, but that is to be expected.  I didn't sleep well most nights this week but I still only missed 1 day of running.  

I rode once this week and I guess this is the one low point of the week.  The day I was going to ride I just didn't have the energy to do it early in the morning.  On Saturday I got started late so I only got a run in.  The goal this week is 3 rides and between 35-40 miles.

My two swims felt great.  I was able to swim 4,000 yards this week which is something I have not done for a long time.  I'm really trying to make it a goal to get at least 2 swims in a week.  

I also got in 3 evening workouts with the weights.  This is something I need to continue to improve.  It's a really important part of staying healthy with all the running/biking/swimming I do.  It is sometimes hard to find the time in the morning to do it so I need to get better about getting 3-4 workouts in a week at night.

I have still been faithful about my stretching and rolling every night and have really tried to roll the foot multiple times a day just to keep it healthy.  I think the stretching and rolling has helped with my legs feeling more alive and reduced my stiffness.

This week I am shooting for about the same running and swimming time but an increase in the miles on the bike.  I am also going to get out on some trails this week and start doing 1-2 trail runs a week.  I've been holding off because of the foot and the terrible experience I had on the trails in Flagstaff (I'll never forget that pain) but I think I am ready.

Overall I'm really happy with the week and how my body is responding.  Looking forward to another solid week and to some really good Thanksgiving Day food with my family!
