The (Near) Perfect Week

My fellow How I Met Your Mother fans might be thinking The Perfect Week is about a whole lotta loving . . . but I'm talking about a different kind of perfect week. This is a running (slash triathlon) blog.

My workouts last week really did make it a near perfect week - the perfect balance between running, biking, and swimming. Behold:

Monday: Ran 3 miles (at lunch), 30 min. yoga (at night)
Tuesday: swam 1000 yds. (am), ran 3 miles (at lunch), biked 13 miles (after work)
Wednesday: ran 3 miles (at lunch), biked 16 miles (after work), 30 min. pilates (at night)
Thursday: swam 1500 yds. (am), ran 3 miles (after work)
Friday: rest day
Saturday: 15 mile canoe race (in my kayak)
Sunday: 13 mile bike

To make it a truly perfect week, the canoe race would have been replaced by a long run. And the Sunday bike ride would have been longer. But you get the picture. Overall a great start to the month of May.

Well done on the (near) perfect week! I am sooo unsteady in a canoe, but that's awesome!

I always appreciate an HIMYM reference (although, I'm thinking the show has lost almost every smidgen of funny this season, yes?). Nicely done on YOUR (almost) perfect week!

A "near" perfect week indeed. Only a beer or two would have made it a "perfect" week!

That is a perfect week! Great job fitting it all in- even the kayaking!
