ALCATRAZ Training - week 8 - Preparation

Still having shin pain, but I'm slogging through it. I haven't run in a week and I'm anxious to get outside. That said, I probably do another elliptical session (or two) before I start running again. Will also consider pool running, especially after swim sessions.

ALCATRAZ Training - week 6 - Endurance

I was close last week, but didn't quite make my target. That said, I'm already off to a bad start this week. Petra came down with strep yesterday so I had to pick her up from school early. I had planned on going to the gym, but unfortunately, she started vomiting and was too sick for me to leave. So Monday was a complete loss; will try to make up later this week.

ALCATRAZ Training - week 5 - Endurance

So I'm going to write using the actual vs. planned model I adopted last season. I'm still trying to work it all in, so no yelling at me if I miss a workout here or a workout there. Seriously, I'm working out more than I ever have, so I feel no remorse for missing one....now. Once travel slows down a bit (to once a month or so), I'll need to do a better job...so I don't bonk at ALCATRAZ.
