Through the first phase of running training building to Triple T

I'm finally though the first 6 weeks of running and things are looking good.

1.  I'm not hurt, the issue with my hamstring last fall has not returned.  I honestly think it's because I've done my best to lengthen the muscles by stretching.  

2.  I've put in the distance.  While I had some downtime because I went snowboarding in Colorado, my running has been consistent.

I will probably be nearer 46 miles this week as I took Monday off.

3.  I've been working on Cadence and Range of Motion.  I've laid off of pushing cadence up over 180 and brought it up naturally to about 176, that feels comfortable to me.  Last year at this time I was nearer 170-172 which I felt was too low.

I think that increasing my range of motion will help me with running faster this year.  My legs are not that long and it's hard to make longer steps.  Last season while running fast, my cadence was always near 185 so they will not be getting much faster.  Also last year I didn't work on stretching at all since I felt it was unimportant, hopefully going back to it will show improvement.

Swimming is going well too but I'm tired.  I only swam 4 days last week because I've been tired and I felt better on Saturday's swim because of it.  My training partner canceled on me yesterday so I bagged the workout, I feel a lot better today and may get in the pool for a short swim and then go back to my normal schedule tomorrow.

Bike riding is starting to come back up, I started riding on Zwift and it's entertaining.  I'm probably going to start riding some shorter intervals this week and I'd like to build to over 4 hours for the next few weeks.
