Weekly Training Log: Week of April 14th, 2014: Picking up the run and back to baseball!

In Training:  I have been running some consistent 40+ mile weeks and am feeling stronger because of that.  I had less time on the bike than I intended, but I don't think I'll suffer in Texas because of that.  I really feel like I have raised my ceiling a ton with all of the work I have put in on the trainer over the winter, so I have some good fitness in the bank.
I had a great run on Saturday in my Hokas.  I don't really believe in doing many "long runs," but was able to get one in to test out how my body would feel trying to hold a faster pace in the monster shoes.  It was a 16 miler done at 6:48/mile pace.  I felt strong, I felt good.


In Life: Taxes were done on time, work went well, and I got to Coors Field for the first game of the season!  Life was good.  Take a look at the pictures for the week.



Swim: 3,900 yards
Bike: 130 miles/448 TSS
Run: 41.5 miles 



This squirrel stopped play at the Rox game on Saturday.  It was hilarious.


Seriously - look at that smile.  I am a proud dad. 
Aiden has really started to love baseball

Taxes done and ready to be sent off to Colorado, Hawaii, and wherever the big guys are
