In training: This week was supposed to be a nice recovery week, and ended up mostly as such. I had good consistency and felt strong through the middle of the week but struggled a bit over the weekend. Running felt like crap, so I just pushed through the miles. I have been keeping the overall run volume low right now and I am still content with doing so. Speedwork/Tempo running was a no-go, and legs just felt tired. The bike felt great - I feel like I have been making large gains on the bike and I have had lots of fun doing so. Training indoors with a power meter has proven to be a whole lot of awesome.
I am still learning how to balance the full-time work/training/life thing - I have been great about getting in a good/substantial workout in before work, but I'm still struggling to get the workouts in after.
In Life: No, seriously, is it spring yet?
Daylight savings is right around the corner and so is a little extra late day energy.
The week was uneventful, but that's not a bad thing.
Beth's back is not doing so well, so she went to get another MRI. I am hoping that everything can get worked out, and that some sort of solution is in sight. She has been struggling with lower back pain for the past year+ and its time that we can figure this thing out. Send positive thoughts!
Happy training. Aloha.

| This is our typical Tuesday date. Dinner at McDonalds in Boulder. I grew up going to this restaurant and have very fond memories of the train part that is connected to it. Aiden calls this restaurant "caboose." |
