Training this week

OK, so I had to take a few days off this week in my training. No, I wasn't injured or really lazy, but I had a work commitment that kept me from training most of this week.  I did however make up for it this weekend where I ran a 5k on Friday at the local track.  Then a Brick session (bike/run) where I biked 17 miles and ran 2.3 back to back on Saturday (outside it was 23 degrees...my water bottle wasn't the only thing to freeze).  My feet thawed after mile 2 on the run.  Finally I ran a recovery 5k today.  By the way, I'm loving life with the relatively mild winter and no snow so far as I can continue to training outdoors a lot.
 

I've got to say though despite the increase in training this past month I feel tired but healthy.  I've been losing weight too which is nice.  This upcoming week is going to be a little crazy as I'm going to be away from my bike and the pool for the latter half of the week, so all of my weekly training sessions for those events come early in the week.  Then it's all about the run, run, run in the latter half of the week around Christmas.  I'm looking forward to the New Year when I can get in a normal groove with the training.
