Finally,, a good solid week

At long last,, I finally got in a full week of training. It has been a long time,, probably 2-3 months since I have been able to really have a full focused training week. It has been one thing or another. I lost 4 weeks to letting my surgeries heal. Although, I have to admit I was glad to use them as excuses to not train. Then I lost a couple of weeks due to traveling. So all in all,, I had plenty of excuses. I have been able to make a few of the long rides and I have been pretty good about making sure I got my running in. So, I am not that far behind,, just because I missed the group workouts.

This week was a bit different. No traveling so I was able to make all the scheduled workouts. I made two swimming sessions. I really lost a lot of endurance. I was struggling to keep up with the lane. We did about 3600 meters at each workout. I started fading about three quarters of the way through the workouts. I felt good though that I hung in there. Mostly I was glad to be in the pool again. It sure helps start the day a lot better when you do something so early. The rest of the day just feels easy. I even made a track workout. I was very apprehensive about the track session but I forced myself to make it. Once there,, I was okay,, it was just the initial part of getting to the track that was the hardest part.

"There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life when he has a regained desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure". Mark Twain

Somehow.. someone hid my treasures in pools, tracks, on the trails and on the roads... I guess if it was left out and easy to find,, it would not be called a treasure.
