I got over my February cold and training really picked up. Running would have been a bit higher but I went skiing on 2 of the days where I should have been running. I can run any day of the year but I can only ski during a portion of the year. And the skiing really has been great this year. Oh, and zero yoga was done in March. So much for that off-season goal.....
Bikes have been getting more intense and my weekday rides are a bit on the long side (1:30 to 1:40). Not so much a fan of this as I can't start riding until ~6:10 PM and this means I don't eat dinner until 8 PM. Running has all been slow MAF runs, which is fine by me. And swimming is just swimming. Although a few weeks back, I finally remembered how to swim again, so that's been a helpful change. Oh, and I've been lifting weights. This is a bit on the sucky side, because I lift at lunch and then I have a really hard bike ride after work. My legs are trashed after that. And then I'm pretty sore for days. Two weeks ago I decided to do a ton of single-leg calf raises (I think it may have been 3 sets of 20). My calves hurt hurt for 4 days, even with taking Aleve and wearing compression socks. That sucked.
I fully expect April to get more intense and longer. I'll probably have to do Deer Creek / Highgrade twice and I have a 4 day cycling camp in Sante Fe. Lots of bike miles.
