Weekly Review

I decided to really take a serious recovery week and make sure my lower ab strain healed before getting back to training.  It was nice to sleep in all weeek long.  It was good timing since Doone was away helping Chase after his surgery.  He broke his colar bone skiing and had to have a plate put in.  I did do a good swim on Friday and a hard bike on Saturday morning.

This week I need to get back after it.  I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do. It seems like it would be easier to exercise in the winter when the temps are perfect for running, but I sure hate getting up in the dark and cold (for Havasu) to exercise.

1 easy TM mile before core and lower body work. 
This was my first run since my half marathon Thanksgiving day. My lower ab is still not 100% but is much improved. I was surprised that my right calf was a little tight still. I'll just ease back into running since I have nothing coming up soon.

8 miles on the trails. It was great to be out running again but my lower ab is very sore again. I was hoping the 2 weeks off running had healed it. Then I swam laps for 45 minutes.

It was ok dark and cold to get out of bed and ride with the group this morning so I turned my alarm off and went back to sleep.  When I finally went to head out for a ride about 8:30 I discovered my rear tire was flat, so I changed it and finally headed out around 9:00. It was actually kind of nice to ride solo. While I didn't have the real hard efforts like I do when I ride with the group, I had a much steadier consistent effort for the whole ride which I enjoyed. I also spent most of the ride in my aerobars which I don't do riding with the group. It's good to practice being in that position since my end goal with riding is to get back into triathlons. I rode a bit over 32 miles.
