3 years ago I started down a pretty significant change in my life. One that concentrated more on physical fitness. Little did I know I was rekindling a long since burnt out competitive flame.
The Shamrock Shuffle 5K in Eau Claire, WI has a certain special meaning to me. You see, it was this race (and a challenge by a very close personal friend) that really started my journey. One that I don't plan on ending anytime soon.
This coming weekend (February 12th) marks my 3rd attempt at dislodging a crown from the top of a rather large lumbering tree. I am so looking forward to this one...

Training Log for Feburary 28th
Overall this week was a significant improvement over last week. Training volumes were much improved and the enjoyment factor has returned (partially because of the lessening snow piles).
Training Volumes:
Swimming: 2050 yards (+4.4% vs prev week)
Biking: 27.2 miles (+189% vs prev week)
Running: 14.5 miles (+353% vs prev week)
Weights: 0 lbs (+0% vs prev week)
Nutrition (C)
A couple of bad days on the diet (exceeded calorie intake pretty bad) ruined what was really a pretty good week. Still trying to get the protein/carb/fat mix where I want it. I'm finding it hard to get in the amount of protein that I want. I'll have to forgo that effort next week as it's race week.
Workouts (C+)
I missed a run and two my run were shorter than scheduled. I also missed my swim repeats. The bike exceeded plans and the long run also week very well. The nutritional plan for my marathon is coming together.
Body/Health (A)
No aches or pains to report. Body is feeling pretty good and I feel like I'm getting adequate sleep. Mentally the enjoyment of training has returned.
