Back In The Saddle

So I've been back to serious training. This week I got in almost 8 hours on the bike, about 3 hours running and 5 hours swimming. In addition to this I've done my daily yoga and strength training routine. And while my training has gotten more consistent over the past month, what I feel has been the real key to this uptick in training has been my effort to keep my diet optimal. By preparing my food on the weekends while I work I have been able to keep my nutrition and hydration consistent which has paid huge dividends in recovery.

I'll get around to detailing my workouts a bit later. But for now I'll just share some pics from my rides this week.

So Here's What Happened Today...

Nothing. Unless you count my taking a picture of this bench. Sort of cool, I think. My goal is to sit on it next time and watch the ducks. After running ;)

I planned to work out but my friend's jewelry show/exhibit started today and she was nervous. So I stayed put, sat by her side and sent vibes of encouragement. Basically why I came to Colorado in the first place. I'm cool with that. Tomorrow, however will be a different story. I'm going swimming.

This is what I managed to do today....
