Busy week, behind again

Monday: swim 2000y in 1 hr
Tuesday: bike on trainer, about 25 miles in 1.5hrs
Weds: form run, 7 miles in 62.5 minutes
Thursday: 8 miles in 66 minutes
Friday: easy spin on trainer, about 14-15 miles in 1hr.

I'll discuss only a few things.

I skipped the Weds morning swim because my back and shoulder muscles were weak and sore. I also woke up with calf cramps that morning. I got out of bed, prepped for the swim, then decided not to go.

The Weds run was a surprise. Last week in a tempo run I did 7 miles in 62.9 minutes and counted that as fast. This Weds run had 10 total mins of WU and CD, and I still beat my time!

The Thurs run I thought would be a PR, but in checking I found that in Nov of 2009 I did a 6.5 mile loop in 51:40. So my pace of 7:51-7:53 yesterday was matched back then. Either way, I'll count this week as a running PR! Early in the run I stated that I was supposed to do a fast run and was NOT going to lose DC's shoulder. I opened my big mouth and now I have to live up to it. I'm glad I did, cuz otherwise I think I would have dropped off around mile 4-5. My legs were burning! I was tired! But I did it!!!!

I leave later today for Louisville camp!
