Still trying to figure out the Garmin Vivoactive.  I can't remember to turn on the "record workout" button and then when I do, I can't remember to turn it off!  Eventually I'll get it figured out and hopefully by April when the weather is nice enough to train outdoors.

Tuesday 3/14: After shoveling the driveway, I headed to work and got in a quick 30 minute XC ski workout around campus (Lyman Woods).  The snow was a little sticky, but still really fun to get out early and be the first one on the trails.

3/13/17 Monday AM- awesome swim workout. I discovered that if I ignore all of the things that they teach you about swimming ("reach of a barrel", "have a supple wrist", "roll your hips", etc...) and just focus on swimming like I'm doing a commando crawl on my elbows, I can take 5-10 seconds off my 100s.  It definitely tires me out quicker because I'm working harder,but it is faster. Swam 1650 consisting of: 650 warm up, 6x100 at 1:45/100 on 2 min, stroke drills (100 single arm stroke and 50x catch up) and then 2x 100 at 1:35 and 1;40, respectively, on 2 min.  then easy 50 warm down.
