Catching Up

Well I know that I have not posted anything for a couple of weeks. I got really busy at work (particularly with traveling) and then was out of town for July 4th weekend visiting the in-laws in Iowa. Last week was really solid from a training perspective -- I ran three times, rode three times, and lifted weights once. I was actually able to squeeze in three short workouts over the long holiday weekend, which I was really happy about. My only regret is that I thought I would have a chance to finally do some swimming in a quarry by the in-laws, but it did not work out.

I have a plan for finally getting my swim training in, though -- one of the branches of my NYC gym does have a pool, so I plan to start going there on Friday afternoons. I figure I only need five or so quality swim workouts before my triathlon in mid-August, but at the end of the day, I do need to get them in. This week is off to a solid start -- brisk five mile run on Sunday, brick yesterday, weights today. Tomorrow I will probably do another brick, and then try to finally hit the pool on Friday before calling it a week.
