Weekly Training Log: Week of February 9th, 2015 - Week #4

This was the last harder bike focused week of four.  My run milage was down quite a bit lower than I had wanted it, but I am still fine with that.

I had a four mile road race on valentines day that was a little long (4.12mi).  Finished the thing in 22:50.  It was my first time running a race at that distance and I liked it.  I set a 5k pr on the way - a little under 17:23 - give or take a second.  That's about 20 seconds faster than I have done before.

Progress is progress.


And... I finally got the treadmill.  It's a NordicTrack C1750 and I am absolutely loving it so far.  Since that happened on Monday, it goes in next weeks log.




Weekly Totals:
Swim: 3,100 yards
Bike: 640 TSS*  Highest Training stress score of the year - Not going this high for another month
Run: 21.2 miles (low but intended)

A sign outside of Aidens school.  He wanted to write that he loves his friends there.

Beth has gotten him on his bike.  He asked to go on it twice this week.

Woke up Valentines day to find some nicely decorated gifts.  Beth got me the large aerogarden.  It's a hydroponic indoor grow system.  I really like that thing.

I got this sweet picture right before I went to run that race in Loveland.  That would be Marley's snout.

I felt good and relaxed for the four mile race.  My pace was faster than I have ever gone for more than a mile.  Here is the 5k split proof.

Take a guess here.
