This week was 55 miles of running, ~1000 yards of swimming, and 18 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.
The week started out decently, and then I picked up some sort of head cold/sinus thing. Nothing too bad and it wasn't Covid (I took two tests), but enough to alter my training plans. Friday's planned tempo was first pushed back to Saturday and then skipped altogether in favor of some 200s that were extended strides, and instead of working my way down to marathon effort on Sunday I kept things a bit easier.
I've been feeling steadily better - by Sunday my symptoms were gone (so I felt comfortable returning to the gym/pool) though I still have a bit of residual fatigue that I hope clears soon.

Monday: 9 "miles" of pool-running and streaming yoga. Foam rolling at night.
