SALUTE, Inc. -- Honor The Service

Throughout 2010 I'm helping raise money and awareness for a wonderful military family support organization: SALUTE, INC.

As an endurance athlete I've come to appreciate nothing more than the freedom to swim, bike and run -- for fun and fitness.

I can enjoy these activities because there are Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Guardsmen out in the world ensuring my, and your, freedom to do so.

This is my, and your, chance to say thank you. SALUTE, INC., passionately pursues meeting the financial, physical and emotional needs of the military service members, veterans and their families.

A Compressed Training Week #3

Week three was condensed into five days, which meant double workouts most days. The reason? I had the pleasure of going on our winter "Indian Princess" camp out Friday through Sunday. We were at a very nice YMCA camp near Lafayette, IN. Abby took a horse trail ride. We shot rifles. Abby did archery. Abby climbed a rock wall. We played some fun games: target shooting using a PVC pipe and mini-marshmallows and the "I-Dad-a-Rod" (dads pulling their daughters on a sled over a course for time). The camp food was awful, but the company was second to none.

Here's my Week 3 workout breakdown:

Monday 1/12: A little over 2 hours on the bike trainer.

Tuesday 1/13: A 3 mile run on the treadmill and about 1100 yards in the pool.

Wednesday 1/14: 4 miles on the treadmill plus upper body, lower body, and core strength training.

Thursday: 1/15: A quick 1000 yards swim workout and 90 minutes on the bike trainer.

Friday: 1/16: 5 miles on the treadmill.

Saturday 1/17 & Sunday 1/18: "Off Days" at camp -- a couple hours hiking in the snow each day.

Overall, a good week.
