Training log - week ending 5/11/2014

This week was 56.5 miles of running and 2,500 yards of swimming  -- training log is here.  

Not too much to report here.  Just running easy, and waiting for the PRP to kick in.  I am happy to note that I did succeed in slowing down my easy runs.  Substantially.    Look at all those 8:5x runs!  I’m pretty tootin proud of this (we’ll just ignore the fact that the increased humidity plus the fatigue of a work trip contributed).  

Dailies

I googled "turning 40"
and got this image.
Perhaps it's for my joints?
