    Tomorrow will probably be a swim and possibly a ride, depending on several factors surrounding work.
    Ok, so I lied.

    2000 M swim
    15 mile ride
    3.25 mile run

      My reward for Monday. I've had lots of blister and even an achilles tendon strain from over use, but a bruise on the top of my big toe is something completely new. The last couple of days have been sore. I pushed myself to 7 miles today. I'm more proud of that than what I did Monday.

        My run yesterday was technically done in the wee hours of today - I postponed it to chill with my daughter for a few hours - but I'm still inputting it as yesterday. Today's workout yet to come.

        JIC and CJF, you're going to force me to break out the bike and hit the pool if you're not careful. I wasn't planning on doing that until next month.

          I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to have to get on the bike next week.

              Have you spent time picturing anyone else's feet? Because that seems a little weird.

                I say yes. Out of curiosity - how many laps do you think you'll need to do in order to get a meter?

                        yesterday was such a nice day, when the time came to turn for home, I thought "to heck with it" and did an extra 2.5 miles

                        I may be small, but I'm slow.

                            All week I've had a head cold/flu type sickness. It sucks, especially since I had a big ride planned for tomorrow. I'll probably still do the ride but cut it down a bit...unless I started coughing like crazy at which point I'll just stop.

                            Nice to see the miles people are putting in. We've got some real runners/triathletes here. JiC's numbers are especially crazy! Good work so far all!

                              I am on call the next 3 days so, I will be happy/lucky to get one session in. The beginning of next week is where I will be able to catch back up!

                                I had a back spasm yesterday and cut my workout in half, but today I am back. JIC will have a surprise when he's back off call.
