weekly wrap up

If I forget to post often enough I have a hard time remembering what I did for workouts and that was the original purpose of this blog- to keep track of what I am doing re training. After the last post on Wednesday of last week, I took Thursday off. On Friday morning I did the triathlon swim class again. I recall that we did some speed drills and I was not all that fast. I have very good endurance but there are some weaker swimmers that are faster over short distances. I have been swimming about 4 times a week so my total swim time last week was about 4 hours. I ran on the treadmill on Friday evening for about a half hour. I believe I ran 4 times last week on the treadmill for between 30-40 minutes each time so my total running time may have been 2.5 hours. I did yoga for 1.15 hours and one spinning class for an hour; That is more than 8 hours of exercise which is not bad for the winter.

On Sunday, I ran outside for about 45 mins and then and went to the gym for about a half hour and did some stretching and exercises. I have been stretching alot to try to deal with my tight hamstrings and related issues. My right foot is still bothering me a bit and seems to bother me more when I run outside as opposed to running on a treadmill. I swam this morning (Monday) for 45 minutes. I feel like I have been eating alot as the Christmas season settles in and it is habit forming.
