It's been a busy work week. Tough Mudder training on my mind, and more importantly, missing two workouts early in the week. Nonetheless, the following is a summary of my training this week, somewhat unconventional, but got it done.
Monday and Tuesday
Fully consumed with work. No opportunity for much really.
Wednesday
Another late night at the office. Got home at around 9pm. My new bike, which I usually keep at my girl's house, was taking up space in my apartment. I had been meaning to drive it back over for a few days but hadn't gotten a chance to. So I geared up and rode the bike 5 miles back to her house. That leg of the trip took me about 25 minutes.
After dropping off the bike and taking a water break, I started a nice 5 mile run back home. That leg of the trip took me about 50 minutes.
Learning to use the Garmin site, I deleted the running portion of the workout, so bike stats only here:

Thurday
Not a damn thing.
Friday morning
Trying for another long run, but it was too cold for me and I was too tired. My plan was 6+ miles. Ended up doing 3.

Saturday morning
Tennis for about an hour plus. Good cardio, worked on ankle pivots, had a nice competitive morning. Felt great to be out swinging the racquet again. Ankle is now beyond healthy, just tight tight tight. Two knees and an ankle that now require warm-up before any physical activity.
THIS MORNING - TEAM WORKOUT
Emilio, Frankie, Brian, Jared, and Pompa. 6.5+ mile run from my place, over the Key Biscayne bridge, and back. Some slight cramping for Emilio, Brian's first run of more than 4 miles, Jared consistent with his pace, and Frankie holding strong. I felt really good on this run.

It was a solid team run. I felt the camaraderie today and the approaching event date now feels very real. We are all working towards a common goal throughout the week, all in our own way, but coming together once a week for a long run feels good.
Everyone came ready to work and we kicked that bridge's ass. Next week we push the 8-mile mark. Will we be Tough Mudder ready in less than a month? I think so.
Peace.
