Training log - Week ending 8/14/2022

This week was 55 miles of running, 1000 yards of swimming and 30 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.

This was a very time crunched and sleep deprived week, hence the short and late report.  

I had two workouts this week.  The first was the Wednesday workout, which was supposed to be 2x(2K,1200, 1600) but got altered since I slept awful and wasn't handling the warm and humid morning well.

The second was a Saturday workout that was a bit of a struggle despite nice weather.   From the start, I just felt short of breath and tired, and the workout was a struggle.   I also can't say that I honestly ran the workout at marathon effort - it felt too hard for that.

That being said, I think there were external, non-running reasons why these workouts went poorly, so I'm just going to write this week off as "at least I did something" and move on.
