Update

Well, it seems I slacked off with posting the last few days, so I will do a little roundup of the goings-ons.

Friday at swimming, we got to work with paddles and flippers again. It is a nice change, but I think my arms were definately feeling it at the gym the next morning. I went for about a 1h10 run outside, then went to the gym. It was quite snowy on the sidewalks, so I made snail like progress, but it was a good solid run.
Sunday we had the brick workout. We watched most of 'What it Takes' while we were biking, so that passed the time nicely. I definately felt myself wanting to pick up the pace during the hard biking/racing scenes. It seems like an extremely hard, but also pretty cool lifestyle to be a pro triathlete. Except for the part where they probably have very little money. And the constant pressure. But other than that..haha.

My roomate organized a pancake breakfast at our house Sun for some of our friends. I got to come home after a nice 2 hour workout to pancakes, eggs, bacon, fruit....yummm! It was delicious, and alot of fun too. We then spent the rest of the day studying, with a brief chinese take-out interlude. It was an nice relaxing day, although not extremely productive.

I think I will start posting my weekly workout totals, to keep me honest :)
So, for the week of October 30-Nov 5

Swim: 3 h
Bike: 3.75 h
Run: 2.75 h
Total: 9.5
Total Including stretching/core/yoga/pilates/weights: 13.2

This is the highest I have hit in the off season so far, and I felt pretty good last week. I had some hip/itb tightness, but I think I just need to keep up with my stretching a bit better.

Just a few more things, and I will wrap up this loooong update.

I have gotten quite the urge to go shopping. For workout clothes. If you ever saw my closet you would realize this is completely irrational. I have more spandex than anyone should need. But I want MORE.
I wear the stuff more than regular clothes, so I am always wanting more. I havent added to my collection in about 2 months, so I figure I am due for a stock up. Lululemon here I come!

I had a midterm today, I have a project due tomorrow, another midterm on Wed, a short paper, and then.....Long Weekend!
I cant wait!
