Training log - Week ending 4/11/2021

This week was 58 miles of running, 1000 yards of swimming and 12 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.

Not too much to talk about here - just recovery from last Saturday's half-marathon and last Sunday's Moderna shot (the much hyped second dose).  My heart rate was definitely jacked up at the beginning of the week, but then settled nicely, and by Sunday I was feeling normal.  The only remaining indication of the vaccination is a sunburn like rash on my right arm about 1.5 inches below the injection site.  I don't mind this at all - I see it as validation that the vaccine is at least doing SOMETHING.
