A Lot Of Miles!

 

"My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more"
My Body by Young the Giant

Well, the last full week of 2012  was somewhat of a strange week for training. This past week I was only able to concentrate on one discipline - the bike. As expected, there was really no opportunity to hit the pool and I am still 4 days away from getting back in the pool. As much as it is my least favorite of the 3 disciplines, I am looking forward to getting wet again. As for my soleus, it is nearly 100% so I am still being careful on it. I tested it on Christmas Eve and got 10 minutes of easy running but could tell it was not ready yet. I have continued to roll it and try trigger point to help in recovery and it seems to be working. I am leaning towards Monday being my first attempt at a very easy 3 mile run. If I can get 12-15 miles this week, I will consider it a good week. This past week I also topped 10,000 miles (swim/bike/run combined) and 600+ hours of training, surpassing two goals I set for 2012. In the one year I have had my new car, I have put 4000 more miles on my body than the car!
