I got a few runs on Monday and Tuesday. Both of the shorter variety, but this week has been all consumed by the house purchasing process. Tomorrow we'll sign our lives away, and I'm going to take a few good bike rides to show that stress it's place.

I'm researching a few training tools for the summer, www.trainingpeaks.com and www.eraceplanner.com - I'm going to need a good plan, and I'm not sure if spending the money on tools like that is worth it. I used Beginner Triathlete's Half Ironman plan a few summers ago, and pretty much wung it last summer. I liked BT's plan, but I think I need more detail this summer, more speed workouts, more bike workouts, and probably a more regular swim schedule. I'm planning on doing some of the local Stroke and Stride races on Thursday nights in the summer, so I'd like to incorporate that in my schedule as well. And the Bolder Boulder, as well as a half marathon early. So I gotta find a plan that'll include all that. Wish me luck!
