Stellar Month

IMO, I had a GREAT month of training and I rarely pat myself on the back, but I'm gonna give in and do so.

Stats:
Bike: 83.31 miles
Run: 50.12 miles
Swim: 16,500 freakin' yards (Mar 8946 yds) = 9.375 miles

Yup that's right! I rock! Okay, this is SOOO not me. Enough of the self-praises.

I almost doubled the swimming from Mar to Apr, and I think all that crappy time in the pool is starting to pay off.

With all that said, I know I need to work on a few things in May:
* Increase the miles on my feet. I just need to run more. 3 times a week/at least a 6-10 mile run on the weekends.

* Continue my swim workouts. I like the long/drill/speedwork sessions and just need to sustain that. I have to do my long swim in the evenings now (well, until I speed up), and will continue my others at lunch.

* Biking - Well, just need to do more of it. I'm finally comfortable riding, and I just want to build off of that. Speed on the bike isn't that important to me, but I do want to improve distance and consistency. 3 times a week.

So, there ya have it. 3 times a week for each discipline. How in the world am I gonna fit it in? I'll figure it out.

I signed up for another Tri today. It's an Iron Girl event, therefore David is a spectator. It's in Georgia 6/29.
* 1/3 mile swim - 18 mi bike - 3 mi run
My kind of distance! I'm stoked.

I ran 3 miles at lunch today, and I've decided to take the rest of the week off of running. I've got a small injury in my right leg that's been bothering me for about a week (I know, I know - too long). It's on the inside of my calf, below it and it now hurts to walk, especially if I've been sitting for a longish period of time. I have Clemson tri in over a week and I don't want to do too much to aggravate it more than it already is. I'm going to ice and stretch tonight and skip my scheduled trainer ride tonight. I'll fit it in with my long ride this week somehow.
