Weekly Training Log: Week of April 21st, 2014: I'm running the BolderBoulder in a speedo and nobody can stop me.

In Training: This was my final week of trying to push the volume while working full time.  I am looking forward to this summer (Ironman Boulder/Ironman Louisville) with a little more time and freedom to get in the workouts while not having to worry about being at work.
I had the highest overall training stress on the bike, paired with a 40 mile run week.  I was able to keep the intensity very high and I did not feel as though I was broken down on Sunday.

The fitness is in the bank - Now I need to get to Texas healthy.


In Life:  It was a beautiful week and an awesome weekend.  The weather is great again, and Beth put in some great work in the yard and garden.  We have an absolutely awesome back-yard and its my favorite thing about our house.  Look forward to many pictures of good times out back from this coming summer.
We got out on Friday evening to 29th street and signed up for the BolderBoulder.  It's my favorite day of the year in my hometown and we have done a memorial day BBQ every year for the past 7-8 years.  I don't think I'll be gunning for a 10k PR this year (IMTX is week before), but I am going to be running as fast as I can.




Swim: 4k yards
Bike: 215 miles/749.6 TSS!
Run: 40.5 miles 




Aiden doesn't nap much at school.  This was about 7pm on Monday evening outside our bedroom door.
