General Update

I am in my 8th week of training and everything is going well. I have the typical aches and pains that are always present, but overall I feel good. The biggest thing I have noticed is how heavy my legs feel. They have definetly gotten bigger, so when I first start to run, I feel it. The cool part is after I warm up, I feel like I can run forever. I have been really enjoying the run workouts lately.

I believe I am about to make a major break through on my swim. I was swimming yesterday and changed my stroke a little. The slight change caused a nice smooth glide with my right arm. I couldn't get it down with my left, but it will happen. I only swam like that for a little while, the pool was crazy busy, but I am going to be back at it tomorrow. This could be a major break through. I am really looking forward to some swim coaching.

The bike is continuosly getting better too. My shoulders start to ache after an hour or so, but that will steadily decrease. I am working on my cadence and trying to keep it above 90 rpm. I have been able to do that most of the time. My legs are usually pretty wiped when I climb on the bike, so I am interested to see how a fresh set of legs will work at a race.
