Training log - Week ending 7/6/2014

This week was 44 miles of running and 7000 yards of swimming  -- training log is here.  

Cutback week, with a race sandwiched in there.   Race was annoying - I was sluggish, and my legs just had no spark.  But, at least I was out there.  And as I keep reminding myself, I don't want to be superfit right now.  I'll settle for healthy, consistent, conservative, and set up to get fit in the fall.  

And hey, at least I was out there.  Better than swimming with a pull buoy.  Hips were definitely a bit achy during the race (had a long downhill stretch after), but recovered well after.

No training report for this week would be complete without a fireworks video.  Enjoy.
