Weekly Training Log: Week of March 2nd, 2015 - Week #7: March is here

In Life: Spring has arrived in Boulder, thus life should start to get substantially better by the day.  That bad stretch of cold and snow ended this week and the sun an warmth have come.  I am someone who has energy/mood that is very tied to the weather and temperature, and spring tends to be my favorite time of year.

Having a good forecast is often enough to motivate me to get through hard(er) days.

This past weekend, I was able to spend a few quality times with my son, Aiden.  He is almost four and a half years old right now.  I really love this age.  He is a sweet, sweet kid.

I took him out to the Harlem Globetrotters on Saturday evening, then swimming on Sunday.  I am really going to enjoy doing so many things with him this summer.


In Training:  I had a needed day off and have been able to swim a little more.  My bike and runs feel strong and my stroke is feeling stronger by the session.  Even though I am not swimming big workouts, I am consistent.




Weekly Totals:
Swim: 5,650 yds 
Bike: 604 TSS - 7.5+ hours all on trainer
Run: 31.2 miles 



Aiden showed us what he is working on at his Montessori school on Thursday evening.

He was laughing for hours straight at the Harlem Globetrotters.  The kid likes to laugh and he loves sports.  It was a good combo.

The game started at 7:30 - His usual bedtime.  He was a trooper and was two minutes from passing out in the car in this picture.
