Everyone's been sick -- boy ended up in the hospital with pneumonia from RSV.
I managed to keep my CTL level, minimal work, just stripping back to the critical runs (that is the focus, after all).
I raised my FTP to 259 though, so that's something. It bodes well for my 280 target.

Week 12 Summary
582 TSS on 6.7 hours of training.
Everyone was sick last week, it's my turn this week. Swimming got totally dropped, biking was pretty token. Seeing as this is supposed to be a running focus winter, I just tried to keep that going by repeating the block I was on (30/60/90) last week.
Boy is almost back to sleeping regularly, he's going to school next week for sure. Almost two weeks and it feels like forever.

Week 11 Summary
795 TSS on 8:45 of training.
Boy has been sick since Tuesday morning, so morning swims have been pretty much out of the question, I'm trying to avoid getting sick with what both DW and he have, and as much sleep as possible seems to be the answer.
5 hours of running (50k) this week which is right on track for the 30/60/90 phase of the BP plan. I'll hold it here for another week to let durability catch up to fitness. The Wed night runs are going well at Runner's Choice, there's one dude there who is very fast over short distances, no idea how he does at longer runs.
Did a brick at UW on Thursday lunch, Sufferfest on the phone, then 20min on the treadmill. That hurt. Left a huge puddle.
5kTT on Monday, see how things are going in the last 3 weeks.

Week 10 Summary
868 TSS on 9.25 hr of training.
Finished reading "RUN: The Mind-Body Method of Running by Feel" by Matt Fitzgerald, which, at its core, is about developing mindfulness in your running practice. Also watched an older video from "the Science of Triathlon" about focus and refocus practice, esp. on bike -- start at feet, release tension, check arms, release tension, check neck, release tension, check head, release tension. Repeat.
