Monday, Monday

For the last few weeks, Monday has been a crappy workout day. After a long weekend of workouts and family activities, Monday is a drag. Today, I broke the cycle. I hit the pool and it felt great! It was a slow workout (as planned) so I took it easy and really enjoyed being in the water.

In a couple weeks Monday will become my day off.. finally.

imc training week 18

Wow. Week 18 already. This is the halfway point! I feel good. In fact, a 10 hour week feels normal, so I guess it's time to turn up the intensity. I've learned a lot in the last month. I'll have to put in a post, too much in my head now to throw it down.

Here's the week:

Bike - Commuter 13 mi 1:00:00
Bike - Road 37.18 mi 2:18:23
Bike - Trainer 0 mi 2:05:00
Run 25.41 mi 3:39:55
Swim 3400 yd 1:30:14
Total Time 10 hrs 33min

A good week.

Felt MUCH better this week. Had a great weekend for workouts, perfect weather. I missed a couple pool workouts which was a bummer, but I think next week the schedule will support a bit more activity.

Bike - Road 65.75 mi 4:22:02
Bike - Trainer 0 mi 1:05:00
Run 28.75 mi 4:19:16
Swim 1250 yd 0:30:00

Zoot Energy's Blew

After 2.5 weeks and a couple longer runs, the Zoot Energy's fell apart at the bottom eyelets. Different sides on both shoes, so I know it's not a fluke. It's too bad, they were comfy. So I took them back and picked up a pair of Brooks Defyance 2's.


I hope they last a little longer - like the 450 miles I got out of 4 pairs of Brooks Radius that they no longer make. These are close, so I'm optimistic.
