Day 16
Location: Washington D.C.
Biked 7.0 miles and then did an arms strength training workout. I did the workout with free weights today, which is quite a luxury in a hotel fitness center. Really good workout and now I am contemplating getting a gym membership so I can keep this up. Previously, I only used resistance bands, which are nice, but they limit you on what you can do.

Day 15
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Ran fives miles with a friend of mine. She didn't finish, but I did. The first two miles were at a slower pace and then after she left, I sprinted the remainder of the run. I have really seen an improvement in speed and I think that is because of the High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) that I do usually once or twice a week. The workout I did last week was something like this:
Walk 3.0: 4 mins
Sprint 6.0: 1 min
Walk 3.0: 1 min
Sprint 7.0: 1 min
Walk 3.0: 1 min
Sprint 8.0: 1 min
Walk 3.0: 1 min
Sprint 9.0: 1 min
Walk 3.0: 1 min
Sprint 10.0: 1 min
Alternate between 10.0 and 3.0 (minute each) until I reach 30 minutes total
Weight: 149.2

Day 12
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Swam for 400 yards today. Did 50-80 yards at a time. Still having trouble breathing. I start off strong with (I think) good form, but then I have trouble getting enough air and then my form goes south. I made a conscience effort to go slower and I think that helped. I also think it will help when I swim in a larger pool to build up my endurance.
Today, I also did an arms strength training workout. Overall, it was a good day.
