Training log - Week ending 4/14/2019

This week was 44 miles of running, 8 "miles" of pool-running and 1000 yards of swimming -- training log is here.  

Another placeholder for a transition week between the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler (which ended up being short, so my PR there is null) and the B.A.A. 5K.  I worked pretty hard at recovery between the two races - minimal running, a massage, plenty of sleep and water, and a mini workout on Thursday to perk up the legs.

It worked pretty well - I wasn't totally fresh, but probably about as good as I could be for the quick turnaround.  

Next week we return to normal training.
