Training log - Week ending 6/15/2025

This week was 30 miles of running and 15 "miles" of pool-running.

Big cutback week in mileage - not because I wanted it that way but because I was still recovering from being sick (extra sleeping time meant less running time) and because racing an 800 on Saturday night meant no long run this weekend. 

This was a rough week between my meds being not quite right and my breathing still being off due to an asthma flare.  And of course, I had a race this weekend.  Fortunately, it was just an 800.

The 800 went OK - better than I would have predicted given my recent workouts.  I decided to tweak my medications, switching from a longer acting medication that seems to be hit or miss right now (Rytary) to a shorter acting but more reliable medication (Sinemet) and see if my body responded a bit better, and it did, so that felt like an accomplishment. But I still have work to do in that area.
