January was a good training month. I started out with not much of a plan for my swimming and biking, and settled into a pretty nice routine for both. In running, I continued my training for my 2 upcoming half marathons.
I raced a 5k and was 10 seconds slower than my PR, on a longer course, with some nasty stomach issues.
I ran/raced the Fresh Pond 5 miler (more accurately 4.6er) 3 times and improved my time by 30 seconds each time.
I ran in snow, a lot of snow!
I got used to my new bike!
I made strides in the pool.
I managed to do plyometrics 2 times/week for 15 minutes (after 2 key runs).
I managed to do abs and pilates 2 times/week for 30 minutes.
I started using swim cords.
I started training with heart rate.
The stats:
RUN: 254 miles
SWIM:10.5 miles - I know, way too little but have skipped lots of swims since mom arrived...
BIKE: 560 miles (approximately since I've been on the trainer) OR 31 hours
Great months for running and biking mileage. Not so great for swimming. I plan to bump up swimming a lot once I finish my half marathons and decrease my running mileage. Until then, I will do my best to get in at least 3 one mile swims each week. Can I do it? Will see!

Nice month of training!! It sounds like you did a lot of great things in Jan!
Even though you said your swimming mileage wasn't that great, I'm totally jealous of it! I didn't swim at all in Jan! But, it will all change this month!
I just fell off my chair! Your mileage is unreal! Congrats
Wow, great training month! And it is only January.
I also should start doing all the small things like plyo/core etc because I totally fell of the wagon.
Nice, I am impressed with the plyos after the runs
Not too shabby at all! Good work.
You have been averaging more than 60 miles a week! Holy cow! And also impressive on the bike... no wonder you don't have time to swim!
You're amazing...
again another very solid month, even if you think your swimming was low :)
your recovery pants should be coming soon!
