Tuesday:Swam for an hour.
Wednesday: Ran 5 miles
Thursday: Swam for an hour. This is by far the hardest swimming session I have ever done. The coach had the class swimming laps in an Olympic length pool without fins. It was hard, but because of the improvements I have made in my form, I was able to get through it.
Friday: Today my goal was to run seven miles. Unfortunately my body had other plans, so I went for a leisurely two mile walk in a snow storm. I was reminded that rest is an important component of any workout program.
Saturday: Ran 7 miles. The path that goes around Orem Community hospital is a great option for winter running. Orem city does a great job of keeping the path snow free. It was downright hot out there. Thankfully I finished before the clouds blew back in and the snow started falling again.
Thoughts for the week: I am going to go back to my own variation on the Galloway Method for marathon training and racing. My plan is to run a mile and then walk a quarter mile to rest. My body reminded me that I have not reached my target weight and need to change the way I am doing things.
And here is the shoe of the week. Behold, the Montrail Badwater Hybrid. Yes, I own a pair. They are great.
