How I felt this week:
Pretty good for the most part. I'm really happy about getting in biking and swimming miles! I feel that cross training is a vital part of Marathon training.

Part of my biking minutes this week was a spin class so I worked much harder during that class. Monday I was off work because of President's day, this helped me get in an extra long workout.   My run on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were on a treadmill.  The run on Tuesday I just couldn't get into it, it was hard work to complete all 5 miles, so when it was completed of course I felt amazing and very accomplished.

The run on Saturday on the hotel treadmill wasn't fun because it was a super crappy treadmill, one of the worst I've ever ran on, but it was an ice storm outside so I couldn't go outside to 1/10th of an inch of ice everywhere, too dangerous.  I was going to do 4 miles on the treadmill so I could get 7 miles in for the day (including the race we were doing in the cave), but decided that I would wait until we arrived home from Missouri to run outside in Iowa, then I did just that, we arrived home at 5:30p.m. on Saturday, I quickly dressed to run outside and had an amazing 3 mile run outdoors while the daylight stuck around for a few more minutes!
