Last week, looking back, was satisfying. I've had a lot more runs which I love and my body is accepting well. I have a huge saddle sore but I feel like I'm getting appropriate mileage on the bike; despite hell traffic. And my swims have always been what they are. I feel better than I ever have swimming though! I'm looking forward to another full week of training and then...TISH will visit!
Monday, July 2, 2018 - I happily took a rest day today!!

Thursday, July 5, 2018 - 4,000m swim this morning. Could have drowned these boys that were fucking off in my lane, UGH. And then old guy back stroking. Seriously, some of us are trying to actually SWIM LAPS! I was scheduled for an hour run but this swim wiped me out. I delayed until evening... 15mins warm up + 4 x 1min hard + 2mins easy... and a little bit more w/Jake. Hot and done. Man, today's swim really got me!
