Last week: Base 3

Run: 6x - the December running challenge starts this week! 3 ez with dawg; 1 intervals; 1 hills; 1 longer + steady. DONE, managed 73km, which is great!
Swim: 2x - this will be tough (tough work sked this week) FAIL again, only once, been runnin ;-)
Bike: Likely none. DONE LOL
Other: Office Xmas party on Sat, try to watch the booze intake ;-) FAIL, got faced. ;-)

This week: Base 4
Run 6x - aiming for 70k.
Swim 1x - during this challenge I'll be happy with once a week
Ride 1x - LSD (6hrs on road if weather's not too sucky or 4hrs on MTB in the mud if it is sucky)
Diet/Alcohol - try to avoid the snax - I find that when I ramp up my training I get hungry - all the time... keep the food at my desk healthy (raw) and to a minimum.

My whole month has gone down the shitter. I am working through some plantar faciitis so I'm reduced to walking on the treadmill in my hiking boots. Even an incline aggravates it. I was able to do 5 min walk, 5 min run three times so that's progress. None of this is helping my waistline however.

I'm playing it by ear right now. Running when my foot is OK with it, switching to a walk when it bugs me. I'm at least practicing fast walking!

goals for this week: 5 runs, 2 swims, hip exercises 3x, shoulder exercises 3x

Had an ok week. 7 runs (42.3 mi I think), 1 swim (a whole 1200 yds), rode once (50 min). Did not do any yoga and I miss it (did it yesterday though). I did my hip exercises but wasn't so good about the shoulders.

Got all my stats done, so I'm done with that class' work. This is the final week of classes and next week is finals week.

I have a big paper to write and then I'll be done school next Wed.

goal for this week is really just that paper.

go water run. yeah it's boring as f*ck but it works. get a swiMP3 player and go nuts. (FWIW I once did a 2hr water run when my achilles was acting up before IMWA and I wanted to poke my eyes out by the end - but it worked).

if not water run, then swim. you remember how to do that right? ;-) give yourself a break from running. it sure sounds like you could use it.

I got rid of my gym membership 2 years ago and haven't been in a pool since. I think I'd drown! It is a good idea though. I'll look into a local pool.
