Week 9 - Tuesday

This is a recovery week for me on my training schedule, and it came at a great time. I went to the gym after work for a short 1000 meter swim. I hadn't been in the pool for a solid week, so I expected I might be a little rusty technique wise. However, I felt comfortable and had good form from the first lap. My only issue was that I couldn't breathe out through my nose very well, which is a problem when you need to do just that under water. Anyway, I was done before I knew it in about 23 minutes.

After changing, I went upstairs for a short run. It was beautiful outside, but I wanted the convenience of getting a couple of miles done there and getting home. My quads were really fatigued all day from consecutive days on the bike, but they felt just fine with the change in muscles for a run. I got in a quick and comfortable 2 miles.

Last, I did about half an hour of core work and headed home feeling like I was getting away with something with this relatively short workout. I am expecting that with a lighter week this week, I should be feeling great by Saturday's long run!
