Keeping a training diary has never been a strong point of mine; so as part of the process, I have made the decision to keep a detailed, weekly training diary leading into IMWA. The purpose of this weekly training blog update is to keep me accountable for my preparation...

Will be interesting to see this weekly summary grow over the next few months.
