How do you know when your training volume is ramping up?
- At the end of the week you have used nearly all of your training clothes
- Your audio book only lasts through the weekend
- Your family knows not to schedule anything prior to lunch
- You can't keep enough nutrition in the house (EFS, Ultragen, etc)
- You eat a lot. Ok, all the time.
- A pedicure lasts a week - maybe
- You use the word "only" in front of anything shorter than a 4 hour ride or 2 hour run.
- You stop doing non-essential things, which is why I am way behind blogging, housekeeping and the like (family, work, training, sleeping, eating are essential)
- You are too tired to finish this list

Milestones
I had the biggest bike volume training week ever in June - back to back bike days sure rack up the miles!
I also killed my new iPod, yes, you read that right, the brand new one. I bought this case for my new, new iPod to ensure that I will not have to replace the new, new iPod again due to my sweat (ewwww!). For the record, a ziploc bag will not protect your iPod ...
Where has the month of July already gone???
Happy Training!

Wow! Great month!!!
I know my training volume is ramping up when I have a "recovery" week and still have 11 hours of training to do.
I hope the new iPod case works!
I feel your pain, nice work.
There is a blogger party on the weekend of feb 5th and 6th at Tough Mudder in Austin, I am inviting you and your husband to come out and have a little fun at this race, something to think about.

Pedicure tip - check out getting "gel toes" - it's similar to nail polish but they put you under the light after they paint it on. Lasts like 6 weeks in between pedis. I absolutely love it. No chipping... they honestly look near perfect after six weeks. Check it out!
Nice job with your training! I loved your list...it's too funny, but oh so true! :)
Nice numbers!!! Hope your new Ipod case keeps the nasty sweat out!! :)
You are awesome!!!!! So proud of you!!!!
