Pouring on the miles

I've been a bit lazy with blogging since IMWI.  I took a couple weeks off from training, but I'm back on the road putting in mileage.  My weekly mileage is currently in the mid-50s and heading north.  I still feel slow, but the endurance is there.  The plan is to keep increasing mileage and add in some speed work one day a week.  Additionally, I'm attempting to supplement with some swimming, cycling, and light weight training, although I've been lazy on those thus far. 

I've been running 6-10 miles on my weekday runs through the hills of northwest Austin.  The runs are slow because the hills are ridiculously steep, but I'm starting to feel stronger going up.  Last night I got back in the pool for my first swim since IMWI.  I took it pretty easy, but it did feel good to get in a short swim.

I've got a few targets drawn on my calendar for upcoming races, but we'll see what exactly I end up doing.
