Another couple days of exhaustive training...my energy levels during the workouts are great, but I feel rather tired both mentally and physically the rest of the day. I'm eating very healthy and getting 9-10 hours of sleep at night. I think my body is just getting used to the intensity and duration of the training sessions...

AM Workout:
Bike Warmup
60 pullups (30 "L")
30 pushups
30 squats
30 lunges
Swim: 1600 meters (800 meters kickboard work, 800 meters freestyle with focus on form not speed)
PM Run: 4.0 miles total run: 0.7 mile warmup, then a hard 2.6 miles at a 6:08 / mile pace, finished with 0.7 mile cool down for a total time of 25:45. Very good run overall and makes me believe I can hit my goal of sub-38:00 / 10k this weekend.
I'm basically swimming and/or running seven days a week. Most days I do both! I am loving the time in the pool and on the pavement, but I really need to start working in some cycling before too long. The major hold back right now is that I don't have a road bike to work on! Hopefully once I can afford that I'll be on the road quite a bit...
Keep it up! After swimming and running as much as you are, biking will be the easy part. I just did a century in the White Mtns this past Saturday. I had been on my bike little during the month lead up to this but found my running translated nicely. I could have probably gone a little faster though with some more time on the bike. Let me know what kind of bike you get. Anxious to see.
