Awesome week! I was able to get in two long bike rides (one 70 miler!) and a long run on Saturday. Felt good on the run too - no knee pain like last week. Weather hasn't been great (rain/snow mix), which along with some work obligations resulted in me missing Thur and Fri. Even so, I was still able to put in close to 12 hours of workouts. Feeling great. Off to Dallas next week for work (Mon - Wed). Fortunately, I've scheduled a long ride with Rich Goode while I'm down there. Down to just over 60 days until the big race.

Terrible week. My flu last week turned into a full on cold that took me out most of the week. I was able to get out this morning for a run, but otherwise this week was a complete washout. My 10 mile run was painful. I felt great from a conditioning and strength standpoint; however, my knee starting hurting on mile 6 and I limped by for the next 4 miles. Obviously, I'm hoping for a better effort next week.

This had the makings of a big week. Unfortunately, I got deathly ill (combined flu/cold/swine-ige thing) that took me out on Saturday and the rest of the weekend. I was planning on a long run (15 miler) on Saturday, but ended up with a big goose egg for the run. Again, I felt good about putting in over 100 miles of biking and had two great long swims (2.4 milers each). Feeling good about where I'm at right now. I will need to definitely start putting in some long runs. Once I get over this sickness, I'll be back at it.

Despite missing Tuesday and Wednesday (I had to be to work early both days), I felt very good about this week. I'm especially happy to have put in 3 good brick workouts and 100 miles of biking. Biking on the trainer is still a major pain, but watching a movie helps the time go by. Feeling good about where I'm at as we head towards the 80 day mark. Just need to keep it going, gradually increase my long workouts, and stay healthy.
