Training log - Week ending 4/19/2015

This week was 74 miles of running, 4000 yards of swimming and 4 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.

Just another week of training.  Hopefully the next few weeks will look similar, as I load up on the easy mileage and the controlled workouts.  I'm registered for a race this coming weekend, but have decided to skip it - I've raced a LOT in the past 2 months, and I'd rather just focus on consistent training the next few weeks, with one tune-up race in mid-May.

Other than that, not much to blather on about - I'm just tracking the Boston Marathon results like everyone else. :)
