Another week in the books

I'm finished with training for the week. What did I do though? I think Monday was off, Tuesday was the Splash'N'Dash (more later), Wednesday was another lazy day, Thursday was a bike workout, Friday was 1200yds in the pool (first time I've swam in weeks), Saturday was an 8 mile run, and then Sunday was about a 38mi ride with the J&A boys that was suppose to be an easy ride which really wasn't easy. It wasn't a hammerfest, but there were parts that were pretty tough. I feel good after the ride because I was pushing but I still had gas left in the tank. I wasn't hurting too bad. Oh, I wasn't wearing my HRM either so I had no clue about that. It was just all perceived effort.

The SnD on Tuesday was fun. It was the 1st time that I've swam in about 3 weeks and I took 45 seconds or so off of my T time. Took another 30 or so off of my run for a total of about 1:15 faster than last time. I was faster and I felt a lot better on this one, too. I ended up finding Bressie's feet about half way through the swim and stuck on them for the rest of the way. I was such a little bastard by letting him know I was there though by tapping his feet every 4 strokes or so. Hehehe.

Ran yesterday at Town Lake. I don't know what the hell I did but the lateral gastroc in both of my calves is extremely tight now. Had Dr. Phil working on it this morning and he said that his thumbs were hurting afterwards. I need to get on the tennis ball and work it out some more tonight.

Oh, some great news. I think the issues with my right foot are almost completely gone at this point. Two weeks ago, my foot would be about a 1 normally and then about a 2 on days where I would run or be on my feet all day long. This week, it is a 0.25 normally and about a 1 when I run or I'm on my feet. I don't know what was the magic bullet but I'm still doing almost everything that I'm suppose to be doing. I can't wait until it is gone for good though.
