Written Sunday 1/9/2011 - This is the first week of a 2nd block of Base Phase training for IMTX. Started coming down with a cold early in the week which affected how I felt during training but didn't affect how much I did. Rode 3 hours on the trainer on Sunday when one thing after another kept me off the road for a 3.5 hr ride. Saturday was a heavy training day: swam 3000 yd, including a 2200 Freestyle in 31:52; then a 30 min treadmill run; then an hour Pilates beginner class. At 4:30 I did my long run, a 90 min road run that was about 9.1 miles.
Linda had a rough week recovering from her 2nd round of Chemo. She's feeling better now but is pretty fatigued still. It took a full week before she could do much of anything besides rest or sleep. Two more rounds to go.
If the weather cooperates I plan to do a century ride this Saturday in the desert - Ocotillo. I've done it twice and it is a great century with almost no traffic and only 1 stop sign.
Weighed 161.5 on Monday but 156.5 on Thursday.
