Monday, Sept 4, 2017 - 4000 meter swim. YAY!! 2.5 miles. I always love knowing I've still got it. Had the lane to myself for nearly the whole swim too!! I was debating going for 2 hours just to see how far I could go today ~ yeah, was feeling that good. BUT... my shoulder was aching a bit. And I just didn't want to push it (another long ago injury that I rarely speak of).

RUN

Sunday, Sept 10, 2017 - we attempted to get a 3 hour bike in but ugly weather had better ideas. We debated all morning about going and getting on the trainer. Finally we decided to go and got caught out in discomfort. It was silly to be out there. Neither of us were feeling it anyway so we came home. And minds full of 'things I need to get done' kept us off the trainer. We will be making this bike up...
