This week was 57 miles of running and 14 "miles" of pool-running.
Yet another late post, because my phone apparently doesnt save my blog drafts.
Weather was again the story this week - most of the week was spent on the treadmill to avoid really cold weather with dry air.
The nice thing about running on the treadmill is that it lets me do an apples to apples comparison of how my fitness is progressing - Friday's workout would not have been doable two weeks ago.
The bad thing about treadmill running is that I have to relearn how to run outside after, as I did this weekend. Sunday's long run was slower than I wanted, and some of that could have been because I struggled with my balance, though there was also a significant headwind for the second half of the run.
Dailies:
Monday: 9 "miles" pool-running + yoga. Foam rolling in the evening.
Tuesday: 10 miles, including an interval workout on the treadmill of 8x3 minutes on with 2 minutes jog (8.4-8.5 mph for the on, 6 mph for the off) plus 6x 30 seconds on (9 mph)/30 seconds off (6 mph). Followed with leg strengthwork. Sports massage in evening.

Friday: 10 miles on the treadmill, including a tempo workout of 5x7:30 at 8.2 mph with 90 second jog (6 mph) plus 2x40 seconds at 8.8 mph with 80 second jog. Followed with leg strengthwork. Foam rolling in evening.
Saturday: 10.5 miles very easy on trails (10:56) in the morning; upperbody weights/core and foam rolling in the afternoon.
