2/3/14 - 2/9/14 Swim - 3 Bike - 3 Run - 3 Strength Training - 2 Weight loss (weekly / year - 0 lbs / 6 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2014) -    Swim - 1800 yds / 3300 yds   Bike - 53 miles / 161.58 miles   Run - 14.08 miles / 74.26 miles I worked out on all my scheduled days and only missed one workout - strength training yesterday and that was only because I was a bit sore from the previous strength training.
