s that actually work and do not leave deep rings around the eyes?
My training goes like this at this point:
Mon: run 1 or 2 miles on treadmill
swim 1 hour w/coach
Tues: longer run or other aerobic exercise for about an hour
weight training for about an hour
Wed: same as Monday
Thurs:
same as Tuesday
Friday:
run for an hour
swim (no coach and much less disciplined) about 45 minutes
Sat:
core work for an hour (Pilates)
Sun:
often no time to workout at all, sometimes an hour run or aerobics class
Thanks for your thoughts!

Sorry. Have no help for you with the goggles. I'm a permanent raccoon.
For cross training I've done everything from
Jogging/ Running
Weight lifting
Pilates w/ flexibility routines built in
Core body exercises w/ stretch cords
Yoga
Biking
Triathlon
Roller Blading
Ice Skating
Water Skiing
Swimming - including open water swims
My fave combo for this year is swimming and weight lifting (stretch cords too) with flexibility training. Perfect! Weight lifting is better than running for me as lifting increases my metabolism so much that I'm thinner than when I run. And I'm more powerful in the water.
Who knows what next year will bring.
Best of luck to you!! Sounds like you do lots of stuff!!
Variety is the spice of life!
