Another week of swimming, biking and elliptical. I've decided that I'm going to race in a triathlon this summer (pending the status of my foot post marathon...). There is a great one in Frankenmuth at the beginning of August, in which I'd be stoked to participate. And none of this "sprint" distance stuff, I'm in for the olympic tri. I guess I've gotten pretty confident in my swimming and biking skills with all this cross training. Of course, it had all taken place indoors, so I'm sure I'll be in for quite a shock when I transition to the real stuff.
Anyway, I did my 16 miles on the elliptical this past week on no fuel and I felt great. I'm even more sold on NSNG for endurance events. Weight loss has slowed, but I feel healthier and stronger than I ever remember feeling. My stress fracture has finally stopped swelling: I can actually see the tendon again when I flex it! I'll go see the doc in two weeks, so I probably should still stay off of it until I get the green light, but I'm really tempted to get back to running in the next week or two...not to mention the marathon is less than a month and a half away!
Week 10 is as follows: a 4-miles + strides, a 7-mile slow/fast/slow, an easy 5-miles and a 10-mile long run.
