Woke up at 5:30 and had a nice jog on the TM.  Still running at 6.5 and 2%.  felt good to back in the swing of things 

Cut short in time because Makena woke up early from her nap.  Maintained HR around 140bpm.  Felt good and pretty easy.

Didn't feel great.  Was up at 2 with Makena and am really tired today.  Road one hour on trainer.

400, 10x100 (1:40), 10x50       

Felt good but can tell I haven't been in the pool for awhile.

Rode on trainer for one hour, then ran 45 min (6.5mph, 2%incline)   Felt great!!

400swim,400fins,400pull,300swim,300fins,300pull,300swim

Feeling better and stronger

Only able to get 45 minutes in on the bike.  Makena not sleeping well and Tim's out of town.

Went to Arizona this weekend and was able to get a run in outside.  Felt so great to run outside in the warm temp (60degrees)

Limited ride on trainer tonight.  Lungs hurt and not much energy.  Have been getting up 3x/night with Makena for the past week.

Finally feeling well enough to workout.  Nice easy jog on TM

Rode 1 hour on trainer.  Feeling better.  Energy is coming up again

ran 45 min on TM.  felt pretty easy

Computrainer for 1:15.  Felt good.  Still weak in the legs.

ran 35 min on TM

Rode on trainer for 45 min then ran later in the afternoon.  challenging because of lack of sleep

45 min on TM (6.5mph, then bumped to 7.0)  Feeling really good.  No problems cardiovascularly just legs get achy and tired.

Rode on computrainer today.  Fairly easy route.  Feeling good.  Rode one hour but was shooting for 21.5 miles.  Had to cut short because of Makena

Ran 1 hour on TM (6.5mph, 2%grade). felt good. can probably start increasing speed

400, 10x100 (1:40), 10x50 (1:30), 100

Makena finally slept through the night again so I was able to get to the pool at 6:30am.  It was great to be in the pool but my arms felt so weak.  I can't believe that the 100's on 1:40 were actually a little challenging...I have a long way to go

Rode for 1 hr and then ran 20 min.  I was not motivated and really tired today.  Makena really needs to start sleeping through the night again.  I was up with her at 2:15am.  I am not functioning well on 7 hours of broken sleep.  Hopefully, she'll sleep well tonight so I can go swimming in the morning.

Ran on the TM 45min (7mph,2%).  Feeling better...it's amazing what sleep will do

Makena slept through the night again!  I'm feeling great.  Had a nice ride on the trainer (1hr) sure wish I was outside though.

So great to finally get to run outside on a nice day...still had to jump a few snow banks but felt great.  Ran about 50 min.  Tried to open it up a little at the end and actually felt good.  It was nice to feel like I still have some speed.  I did the last mile around 7:30.  I think it's more mental at this point and I need to push myself more on my runs.  Yeah...it's coming back.

30 min on the bike.  had to work today and was just not motivated. 

Starting to feel like crap again.  Have had a busy few days and not sleeping great at night.  Went to a nutrition seminar with Cory Holly.  He gave some great insights on things I'm probably missing in my diet.  He recommended drinking a few protein shakes each day with fruit, water, and flax seed oil.  Also taking some supplements.  I need to make some changes so I can have more energy to get through my workouts.  I can't take a week off every 2 weeks and expect to reach my goals this summer.  I'm frustrated and tired but at least have some ideas of how to make things better. 

Felt good to be back.  It's been a long week...busy and started not feeling well again on Wednesday.  Started working with Debbie on some nutritional issues.  It think that's why I'm not able to keep up.  It seems like just when I feel good and get on a roll I feel like crap again.  Today was good.  3 lap run: 1st lap 15min (8:40 pace), 2nd lap 14:09 (8:10 pace), 3rd lap 13:25 (7:45 pace).  All in all I feel good just need to work on my consistency and definitely need to get to the pool. 

Makena was up all night.  I was finally able to put her down at 5am!  I'm exhausted!  hopefully I can get some sleep and get caught up today.  No workout for me

I'm not ssure exactly how many miles I'm riding when I enter them here since I'm on my trainer.  Rode for 45 min tonight.  Felt good for that duration but then lost interest at the end, was shooting for 60 min.

Makena was sick today so I got to stay home from work.  She actually slept most of the day so I had a good run on the TM and was able to do some pilates.  Felt ok but my hips are really tight...definitely need to be more consistent with stretching.

One hour on the trainer.  I'm just getting bored of being inside.  Overall, I'm feeling good this week.  I hope it keeps up.  Going back to work tomorrow and Friday so I guess I'll shoot for Saturday unless I can get up early and get a swim in.

Finally able to get back on the TM.  Worked on Thurs and Fri and then was not feeling great again all weekend.  Ran out of time last night to get a workout in.  This upcoming week is going to be bad too.  I'm going to Denver on Wed for a Pilates course.  8 hours a day of pilates but there won't be much time for anything else.  Next week I'll be back on track.

Rode on the trainer 45 min this morning before work.  I've been out of town since Wednesday at a Pilates course.  The bad news is I didn't have anytime for a workout but I was doing Pilates from 9-5 each day.  My body feels rejuvenated and I'm ready to go.  Basketball season is almost over and then I'lll be able to get to the pool more regularly.

Rode on the trainer 45 min and then ran 30 min.  Felt good today.  Had my bike fit last week and am going to get my new tri bike ordered soon.  My road bike feels great now.  I can't wait to get outside!

ran on TM 30 min... tried to do some hills but really tired today.  then went on 3.5 mile walk with Makena and Cousy for some sunshine

45 min on trainer tonight after work  rode pretty hard for duration

yeah! had a nice run outside today.  felt ok but nice to be outside again 

rode the escape from alcatraz route on the computrainer.  1:21  felt great

Longest run in awhile.  Felt great to be outside.  Pretty slow pace but it was just good to go longer (9 min/mile).  My foot was bugging me a little...time for new shoes.

35 min on the trainer tonight.  felt pretty good.  i can tell i'm getting stronger.  i will make it to the pool tomorrow morning!!

Yeah!!! Finally made it back to the pool.  Felt great to be in the water.

ran on TM today...feeling good.  I think I'm ready to start doing some interval training.

2 days this week in the pool.  yeah.  limitied on time this morning so just swam continuous for 35 min. 

another day on the TM.  running at 6.8 mph

1 1/2 hr on computrainer today...did the first 20 miles of kona course.  I'm only averaging 15 mph.  don't know if it's the fact that I'm on the trainer or if I'm really that weak and slow.  it'll be nice to get outside...just need to find a babysitter.

made it to the pool again this morning before work. 

200, 10x100 (1:45), 3x100 IM

Was in San Antonio for the Fianl Four.  Ran along riverwalk.  Not sure how far it was but it was a beutiful day and felt great to be outside

short run in san antonio.  legs were a little tired and achy from yesterday. 

another short day on the trainer.  hoping the weather clears up so I can get outside soon for some longer rides

TM  felt pretty good

warmed up then 5 intervals of 3 min at 7.5 min/mile and 2 min recovery.    I could have picked up the pace but I didn't know how I'd feel.  it's time to start pushing myself.

i really need to get outside for a long ride.  I'm so sick of the trainer

beautiful day outside.  pushed Makena in the stroller...that's an ab workout. 

another day on the trainer...I can't believe that it's snowing again 

64 min on TM this morning.  Felt good.  HR in 150's-low 160's the whole time. Longest run in awhile and 8 min/mile wasn't too bad.
