Week 11 Total Time: 12:30:00

This week I completed the longest workout week so far. 12 hours and thirty minutes. In that time included a 2:30 bike and a 2 hour run. I told myself if I finished my entire weekend workout I could get a blizzard Sunday afternoon. It was an awesome blizzard. Extra sweet. Just about half of my total time came from my weekend workouts. Had the 2:30 bike plus a :40 run Saturday and a 2:00 run followed by a 1:00 bike on Sunday. I was very pleased that I was able to finish it, with no foot pain and still feeling great today. Tonights swim workout will really let me know how much energy I have left, but as of right now, I am feeling good. Little stiffness, but nothing that shouldnt go away after stretching tonight. My feet are really happy with me for throwing out my old shoes and starting in with a fresh pair. Up until now I never really felt the effects of worn out shoes. I also decided that I am going to not use my Zoots for the Ironman. I just feel I am going to need something with a little more cushion. I checkd out the new Asics Nimbus 10s. That is totally what I am going to wear. Just waiting for the price to come down. Hopefully by midsummer I can find a sale on them some place. This week I am going to start adding some intensity to my bikes. I tried to do that 2 weeks ago and I just about died. It was to much. I will start with a few 15/45 sprints just to get my legs use to it again. I think after I get outside, it will come back to me. For some reason I have a hard time riding "easy" when I am outdoors. :)
