Another good week of base training. I did a bunch of extra activities this week...a night at the climbing gym, a couple of extra hours at the animal shelter walking dogs and a holiday party or two. I am feeling pretty tired and I think it is mostly because of the extra running around. The weather has been beautiful and I am so thankful for that :)

I had a lot of obligations and a lot of running around this week that some how conflicted precisely with all of my primary workouts this week so I just let it go. Counting it as a rest week and back from the start on monday. I got some good stuff out of it though! If you wear a 43.5-44 road shoe or a medium helmet and are interested this stuff is excess gear for me so I'll give it to ya cheap.
Swim 11,600 yds.

Another fairly decent week of base on the new schedule. I think I may have taken it a little too easy last week and for sure made some nutritional mistakes and compromises so I have not been feeling tip top this week. Tip-toed around the rain a little but made a good week of it.

Very mellow week this week...ate a lot of things that were not that healthy and was really lazy. Even though next season is a long ways away I still feel the obligation to my self to be smart and diligent about my pursuit so I do feel bad about this week a little. Had a lot of adventures though...
...and did some sight seeing...
...and finished the week off with a day in the city with my girlfriend enjoying hiking, shopping, snacking and visiting with dear friends. All in all a nice week but I can tell my body is craving the normalcy and efficiency of a my more regimented weeks. Sorry body but the holidays are gonna be rough ;)

This was the last week of my first base block of the new structure. I am very pleased with the results already from my adjustments. I am able to recover better, get more in each week, and I feel more confident about improvement through building and adjusting in general. We had a little hiccup at home this week so I had to take a day off mid week but otherwise completely on target so far. :)
