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.
