Training Log: 2/18-2/23/2013

Monday:  Swam for about 60 minutes at the Wes Deist Aquatic Center in Idaho Falls.  I am starting to get the hang of this swimming thing and really enjoying it.  Why didn't I do this in high school?

Tuesday:  Walked for 65 Minutes.  30 minutes of cycling at lunch.  First day of doing things in one day.  We will see how long two a day workouts last.

Wednesday: Swimming in the morning and cycling at lunch.

Thursday:  Cycling at lunch, Keena's swim class.

Friday: Ran 4 miles. Cycled for 20 minutes before physical therapy.

Saturday: 10 mile bike ride.

As you can see I did not do much running this week.  Some nagging things in my feet made me drag my carcass into Orrock Mendenhall Physical Therapy.  It is nothing serious.  Unlike many runners, I am a believer in prevention and will see a PT to work through things before I get sidelined.

I also decided to experiment with two-a-day workouts.  These are killer but great.  Doing them everyday is not realistic and exhausting.  By Friday I think I had totally depleted my body's electrolyte stores.  Thankfully I have a large can of Gatorade mix at work.  After a couple of bottles I was feeling great.  Also, my weight is down to 244.6lbs.  This is the lightest I have been in years.  Onward to the 230s.

And now, your shoe of the week.  The Altra Instinct.  About two years ago I was messing around with minimalism and bought these shoes.  I am not at all ready to make this transition but these are great shoes for everything.
