Needed a New Post

I needed to move that last UT post down a notch.

Anyway, the Christmas holiday has come and gone. As quick as it was here, it was gone...to return in 364 or whatever days. Since 08 is a leap year, it gets confusing. Maybe it's actually 365 days since we get that extra day in February.

So, I know that I need to do a year-in review follow up or closure post, but I just haven't gotten to it. How have the last few weeks looked?

12/3 was about 18 hours. Some steady state and tempo riding and running. A few days in the gym.

12/10 was about 17 hours. Some more steady state and tempo riding and running and a few days in the gym.

12/17 was 19 hours. Same drill. We'll keep on this schedule for probably the next few weeks. It can be tough around the holidays, but keeping it pretty consistent is the goal. February and March will probably be pretty big months...or at least bigger for us in terms of training.

That's about it. I've slowly been adding to my stable of athletes with Source Endurance. I've got some really dedicated age groupers as well as a one elite (that would be Amy) and two newish elites that have some good potential.

More to come. I think that a nap is on the agenda now. We swam with the kids this AM. 5500 yards in about an hour 20. A solid morning. I've already been on the phone and computer working with athletes this morning. A little more of that and a bike ride to follow.
