Training Completed for January 2013

I had a great month of training for the month of January.  My training consists of "time" training but looking at the distances helps me mentally as I prepare for my first Ironman.  My swimming continues to improve and I'm getting faster on the treadmill.  Today I ran for an hour on the treadmill - 6.6 miles (9:05/mile).  I'm getting more comfortable on the bike as my rides are a minimum of 1 hour each.  I'm hoping for faster speeds on my bike as I continue to train.  I would love to be running 8-8.5 minute miles for long distance later this year.  Here are my totals for January 2013 Training:

January Training Totals
Swimming - 16,675 yards (9.47 Miles)
Running - 48.5 Miles
Bike - 180.79 Miles
