slowly but surely...

One week of running down, 6 miles total. Still a little pain in the IT band. I am planning on setting up a massage for it next week through the hospital. They would know better about what specifically to do for it.

Swam again today. the pool at the Aquaplex kind of suck for lap swimming and is awesome for everything else. They say its a 20m pool, i am thinking 20yds. Its also like 87-89 degrees! That comparable to running in 95-100 degree heat. I get out of the pool and sweat! But, its the only pool open. two more days of that this week and then more pools will open.

Been riding a little as well. Not as much as i would like, but i still don't think i am up to my regular fitness. I am getting about 75-100 miles/week.

Work is kicking my butt. Last week was my first full week off of school and i was already into overtime! I am actually liking it a little though. I feel very accomplished at the end of the week.

Swim and two miles running tomorrow. Mountain bike on thursday. yes.

Summertime...

Two more days! I get to run again! The IT Band is feeling better, not 100% by any means, but better.

I have to figure out a new place to swim for the next month. The country club pool doesn't open til memorial day weekend and the Natatorium on cmapus (where i usually swim) is closed to rec swimming for the month of May. Who does that? I can't believe they close for a whole month. I can't believe flagstaff doesn't have more public pools.

The weather is Nice! I have been able to commute on my bike again. Get some miles in. I am feeling really good for this part of the season as far as my cycling is concerned. Let's hope that carries through til July.

Next race: Flagstaff Barnburner. A 104 mile looping mountain bike course. June 20th. Single Speed. Break 12 hours and you get a sweet belt buckle. That is my one and only motivation.

Not much changing as far as training is concerned. School is over. Summer has officially started. And what better way to start than two days of Grand Canyon Region track and field!

Training gets serious next week. Check you later.
