Run Swim Bike... This is a rest weekend?

RUN 9.8 miles in about 1:35
SWIM 2300y in 1 hour
BIKE 10 miles in about 35 mins

I was going to run longer, but I was having pain in my left knee since the Thursday run. It's only when I bend my knee, it's focused on the  lower lateral side of the patella, doesn't hurt when standing with weight or just sitting. Bending the knee while walking, stairs, those hurt. It's a sharp focal pain, but sometimes I get the sense that it changes location a little. Sometimes the bottom of the patella, even for a while on the left. Is it a patella tracking thing? I can touch it ok, and when I do I can feel something sliding or moving under the skin where it hurts. Is there something out of place? Sometimes it feels like I need to pop my knee. So all day Thurs and all day Friday, knee pain.

Then while going down the back steps last night something with my left foot started hurting. When I woke up this morning, no pain at all. Did it pop back in to place?

I ran just under 2 miles before meeting up with RM in Fo Pa. It was a chilly morning, I wasn't feeling into it or focused all morning. I had that mental fuzz I get from having a late morning deadline. Today was 930. And not only mental fuzz, but too much brekkie. Urp.

By the time I joined up with RM I was feeling better, and after the run I was feeling 100% again. And I'll say here too, even though I don't normally talk about other's training here, that this was the best run RM has done with me. Damn he's improved! I love it! We talked Club, so the loop went fast and we even added on after the first hour! And my knee didn't hurt much at all.

I had plans to swim afterwards. Now many times I'd decide I didn't want to swim. This time I wanted to swim. Yea baby! I picked at mid-distance workout from my new book that had a lot of short sets--50's and 150's. These are nice for me know since I don't have the endurance and focus for much longer. If I try to go longer, my form just falls off. So this is a good place to get started.

After a too-long too-hot shower the pool water was cold. Or maybe it really was cold, because even after an hour I was cold. My form was getting bad so I added in more pull and kick sets. Really the goal was just to get the swim done.

I thought of a new swim tag for me -- Ima learn 2 swim -- or something like that.

After getting home, I wanted to round it up to 3 hrs so I hopped on the trainer. Slight push, but just really just cardiac extension.

And now later, sitting here hours later, my knee hurts again.
