How did this week get away from me? I'm going to use the "I'm still in recovery excuse" :)

Wednesday I was supposed to swim, but my morning was "disrupted" by a work meeting. I put that in quotes because a 9am meeting shouldn't disrupt my schedule! 9-freaking-am!? I just didn't have much flow that morning. I was originally going to do this ride on the MCT's, but again I blame the meeting. I had to be home for ADT to fix something, and after that I planned to swim at 3:30.

It stormed at 3:30. But I did get to the Y! Only to find the pool still closed! With no outlook of a swim (afternoon classes were about to begin). So I used that excuse next. I swore I'd swim Friday.

On the plus side, I did finally get to BRR to use my II gift cards on my new socks!

Thursday was the usual group run. I didn't think I had it in me, but I managed a great pace. It sure didn't feel like 8:20's, felt more like 9:30's. I headed directly to the pool, and after talking to D about the upcoming race, I hopped in. My plan included a 3x (100 swim, 100 pull, 100 kick) set. That's about as far as I got. I felt awful. No motivation, no desire, no energy. I pushed to the 1000y yard mark, saw the time, and threw in the towel. I swore I'd swim Friday. For the rest of the day, I felt awful. Tired, wore out, and no energy.

I met a woman at the end of my swim -- Jara -- 71yo and looking to do her first half iron! She's training for NT this summer, and was hoping to get an MDot tattoo if she did a 70.3. Inspiring!

Friday. I didn't swim. I took the day off and benefited from it! I felt awake and energetic.
