I am really happy with my week.  I didn't get on the bike this week but it was too cold in the morning to ride.  I got 2 swims in and both felt really good.  My upper body seemed to respond well to the swimming. 

My running continues to improve.  I hit my goal of 30 miles this week.  I will hover around the 30-35 mile mark until I start marathon training.  My plan is to increase my daily mileage to 4.5 and shoot for a 10 mile run on Saturday.  At that point I will just maintain for a couple months.  I also want to get on the bike at least 2 days this week.  The weather is suppose to warm up here so I should be able to get it done.  

The knee seems the same.  No worse or better.  I've been doing some core/glute workouts and these seem to be really helping with my overall fitness and speed.  

It's time for some new shoes also.  I've got over 400 miles on both pairs of my Nike Pegasus.  They have been really good shoes so I think I am going to buy a couple new pairs of them.

Easy run.  This could have been the first morning of running I didn't really feel any issue with my patellar tendon in months.  It was very exciting.

This is the longest run I have had for a long time.  I could tell my legs got a little tired off and on with the uphill but the last 4 miles I did some tempo work and felt good.  I stopped every 2.5 miles to do a quick stretch and refocus on my form.
