Weekly Training Log: Week of October 12th, 2015 - Week #39: Final few weeks of the season have arrived

In Life:  I had a few days last week where constant exhaustion hit me pretty hard.  It seems like I do start to feel more tired throughout the work day as fall has progressed.  This has been a pretty constant theme throughout the last few years though, and I feel as though I am getting through a little better this time around.  I am very happy with being at LPMS this year and again so thankful to be working in the same school as my wife.  It's been pretty awesome to be able to walk over to her office to see her whenever I want throughout the day.

Saturday, we had planned on seeing my sister to hang out in the afternoon, and then get dinner together at Sherpa's - a great Nepalese/Indian restaurant in Boulder.  Erin, Kyle, and the kids walked in towards the end of the Michigan v Michigan St. game that afternoon and we caught the end all together.  Beth played four years of D1 soccer at Michigan St, thus I am a Michigan State fan.  The game looked like it was going to be the first loss in a while until the most amazing finish I have ever seen.  If you didn't catch that game, or hear about it, go check it out.

I had some good training sessions Sunday, then I took Aiden to see "Goosebumps."  I think it was the first time I have take him to see a movie alone.  I loved it and I look forward to many more movie dates with my kid.



In Training: Swimming is still lacking, but I don't really feel as though I have lost much fitness in the pool.  My stroke feels fine and I am able to hit 10 x 100's on 1:15 pretty comfortably.  I am not making gains, but not losing much either.  I need to get to some 5am RallySport swim workouts throughout this winter as I plan on tackling the swim and making gains in the water for next season.
Bike and run remained as a lot of time spent indoors on my trainer and treadmill.

Four weeks until IM Arizona, then "off season." I have already switched to off-season mode, and am looking VERY forward to my first full pro season next year.
