March Goals
So I am back from my Bahama "business trip" and right back into the swing of things. I didn't train as much as I had hoped to out there, but I did run on the beach (so hard!), and swim in the freezing cold lap pool once. I've been pretty lazy about swimming lately and often talk Jeff out of our evening Tue/Thurs swim. But instead of swimming last night I did make eggplant parmesan with homemade tomato sauce. Sometimes a good meal is much better than exercising, right?
My goal for the rest of the month:
I'm going to put it in writing so I am more likely to do it. I want to try to become more structured in my training weeks. Training for my last three marathons I never missed one scheduled workout. But right now I don't have any "scheduled" training sessions written down and it is much easier for me to blow of what I should be doing. So here it is; for the rest of the month I am going to:
Ride (trainer or outside) > 5 hours a week
Run > 3 hours/week
Swim > 2 hours/week
Strength train > 30 min/week
Yoga/Stretch > 1 hour/week
I think it's completely manageable, and not really that much now that I am looking at it. We'll see how it goes!

looks like a nice, solid training schedule. i admire those that can work hard at multiple sports. AND find the time and motivation to do yoga. even though i know how wonderful yoga can be (by thinking about each and every time i've done it) i still have the hardest time finding the motivation to do it. best of luck on your training, and i'll keep checking on you; maybe that'll motivate myself to do something in addition to my running! :-)
Thanks!
It helps for me to think of the yoga as injury prevention. I actually break it into 20 min 3xs/week, and it's really not that hard to fit in. I know 20 minutes (at home w/ a Rodney Yee video) isn't much but it's much more manageable than finding an hour long class to drive to once or twice a week.
Congrats on the Orange Curtain 100k. 10 laps of a 10k talk about needing motivation! You did much more than I could have.
