2/12/2009 - Try to get back to blogging

I have continued working out for the last 3 months since my last workout blog. I just have been swamped at work and so haven't updated my blog with workout info.

Anyhow, I've stepped up the yardage and intensity over the last 3 weeks. I went from doing ~15-20 K/week to 27-32 K per week lately (27, 32, ? this week). I know, I know. What's the point of just increasing yardage? There isn't a point to it if the yardage doesn't mean anything. However, I've increased yardage mainly by adding quality kicking and/or a second main set. I was really wiped out after the first week and didn't even make to Saturday's workout after doing 5K+ a day avg. I'm starting to adjust now and am not feeling as beat up. I also blew a seam on my big drag suit. So now I'm down to my smaller drag suit and have been able to go a little faster. I'd like to fix my big drag suit but I will likely not start wearing it again regularly until after Nats. It's time for me to get some more speed in workouts.
