still going...

I have not given up my training effort, just my blogging effort. I am still hitting the runner's core workout on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I've been spending more time on my bike trainer getting use to the tri bike and the new position and trying to get a bike/run brick in once a week.
I got back in the pool on Tuesday and felt good, 8 laps and then my workout. I did a 1/3 mile swim, spin class, and ran 2 miles on the treadmill (ugh) on Friday.
Saturday's long runs have been good. I did 13.28 miles on 12/12 and 10 miles in 87 minutes today!
Til next time...

It's been a while...

I have been 'maintaining' since the last post. I did have a long run Saturday (8.5 miles) and felt great except for the new shoes I was trying out. I have an eternal search for the perfect shoes that MUST end! Asics always work yet I keep trying different shoes. Thank goodness for Zappo's liberal return policy.
I am also trying out a Felt B-16 Tri bike from Tri Your Best. It is definitely an awkward positon at first but does feel faster and more relaxed than my road bike. I did 3 laps around St. Mtn last week on it and the weather has kept me away this week.
I can definitely feel some benefit from doing the Runner's Core workouts. I've been doing them 2X/week for 3 weeks now and my legs feel more balanced and stronger.
That's it for now. Hopefully I can overcome the weather challenges this week and get outside.
