Looking Back at February

Here is February's Totals:

• Swim - 7,250M.....................14,000M in January
• Bike - 35.94 miles.............60.42 miles in January
• Run - 21.10 miles..............37.39 miles in January

It doesn't take a genious to realize that my totals this month were considerably lower than last month. Oy oy oy. Not that I am going to make any excuses, but I do like to take a look back and notice everything that was going on around me that affected my workouts:

• 11 days of NO physical activity what-so ever
• 1 week of a nasty cold
• 4 days with flu-like syptoms that knocked me off my feet
• 1 knee injury that cut back my running (started February 4th)
• 4 swims
• 3 bikes
• 10 runs ... averaging less than 2 miles each
• 2 days of yoga only
• 1 - first PT session
• 5 days of PT exercises

Crazy, ugly month. I look forward to March being a helluva lot better! In fact, I am going to try and get more aquainted with my Tri Power book and see if it is something I am ready to start in March! I am kind of excited!

February 2008 - In Review

... A few days later ...

• 1 - the number of weekends I was out of town
  
• 3 - the number of back to back workouts
  
• 3 - the number of times I got on a bike ... eeks
  
• 5 - the number of times I got in the pool ... wtf?
• 6 - the most days I worked out in a row
  
• 12 - the number of times I ran; 2 miles being the shortest... 6.55 miles being the longest
  
• 12 - the number of Rest days.... blech.

OVERALL:
OSN: 6300 meters (less than last months 7900)
OCN: 42 miles (isty bitsy more than january's 41.36)
ORN: 39.45 miles (compared to last month's 30.57)

I am okay with that. Not so okay with ALL the rest days and lack of getting on the bike or in the pool. I am just going to come out and say it... March is going to be complete Madness and I am not just referring to basketball here people. I need to get my butt in gear for this tri. It has been a challenge to train for this tri and half at the same time. I don't know how to juggle it all and where/when to focus on what. I guess I have let the bike slide as it seems to be the least of my worries. I need to start incorporating more brick workouts and possibly some more two-a-days once maybe twice a week. I am currently dealing with this ankle issue and am not too pleased with it all. Frankly, I am afraid of what will come of my "scheduled" 8 mile run this weekend. But, I am going to be optimistic and take it one day at a time. Soon, I am going to have to sign up for this half marathon.
