Weekly Training Log: Week of June 24th

Another good week of training down and I feel like I am making progress.  I'm cool with that.

I had an absolutely amazing past few days enjoying summer and spending time with my family.  My sister and her family are in town from Minnesota and had some nice time with them.  The highlight of my week had to be having my whole family (dad, sister, brother in law, sister in law, and wife) do Stroke and Stride on Thursday night.  If you would have shown me a picture of this a few years back I would have been in disbelief...  I think running a marathon has changed my sisters way of thinking - doing the long stuff puts everything in perspective.

Then this past weekend, all of us went up to celebrate with the Asmuth and Skoff families for the wedding of Liz and Greg.  Hands down the most fun I have ever had at a wedding (outside of my sisters and my own).  It was up at Devils Thumb Ranch in Winter Park - amazing place...  Got in a 15 mile run at 8500ft and it kicked my ass.

All in all another great week of summer!

Run: 40.0 miles 
Bike: 195.6 miles
Swim: 5200 yards
