Recovery week #2, things are rolling again!

Thursday BIKE 90 mins 24 miles.
Friday RUN 40 mins 4.3 miles, track
Saturday SWIM 2100m 60 mins; BIKE 52? miles in about ~3:10?

The bike was indoors in the evening, it's amazingly hot outside and it was getting dark. Although I've been cautious about getting too hot while I'm recovering, I think I'm ready to get back to normal :)

The run was my first track workout since March--before the ankle injury. I just did 3x800 (200) at a hard but not sprint pace which ended up being 8:10-ish. The sprinklers were on at the track, it helped but wow it's hot. This felt good, I'm thinking about alternating hills and track on Tuesdays.

The swim bike was with LC. She suggested Sat Masters. The water was warm, about that temp that you don't notice it on your skin. Where was some of this at CDA? There were a lot of fins sets that I pulled instead. At some point I need to start rebuilding ankle strength and start finning again!

The bike was also with LC on the MCT. We were just looking for a "chill" ride, it was in every sense except the heat. We did OK in the heat until mile 48 or so when both of us started to crack. This was about 11am and 105F, so we did good all morning. I'm eager to get back to normal, go away heat! (while I'm typing this, I hear THUNDER! And the temps have dropped from 101 to 92 in just the last two hours!).

A few injury/body updates. I noticed the other night after the trainer ride that my medial left ankle was aching, nothing acute, just an ache. This continued Saturday. Both feet started tingling around mile 45-48, this usually doesn't start until mile 70-90. Boo. Poor form, or a continuation of the pain I've felt in my feet the last two weeks? My neck/shoulder is doing good but I could feel it in today's ride. Things are on the upswing, but I need to be careful and just give myself time to return to 100%.
