Written by This past week was a good mix of swim/bike/run and strength. It was a decent week overall given that every discipline was up week over week in terms of time.
My legs felt a little heavy by the time Friday rolled around and my swim was less than spectacular, but I got in the distance. The long ride on Saturday was 3 hours – more on that in a different post. Running this week felt really really really good. My paces are starting to improve and my comfort level at accelerated paces is improving overall. Am, overall, very happy with my fitness level.
My eating, however, suffered a bit this week. I haven’t been tracking my macros for the last two weeks and things are leveling off in the weight loss. That’s not a bad thing, but the tracking is a good thing for me. It’s a good discipline. Also, I was out for dinner two nights in a row where I opted for two glasses of wine each night. While this isn’t a crime per se, it doesn’t help my body with feeling as good as it could feel or help with my sleep. I sleep better when I’m not drinking and my body absolutely needs rest as the training increases.
