Recovery Week

12/8/2020

​This week was not what it should have been.  I need the recovery week but now that it is over I don’t feel all that recovered.
 
Monday, I skipped my swim workout as the weather wasn’t that great and I had no desire to drive to the gym so I just skipped it altogether.
 
Tuesday, I headed out for an easy 42 minute run.  Again, supposed to be a recovery week and ran at a 10:00 pace.  This was a bit faster than it should have been.
 
Wednesday was another recovery run, this one was a bit slower where I should have been yesterday.  The bad thing about Wednesday, I had a ultrasound done and confirmed that I have an 1.4 cm umbilical hernia. Now I wait until I get an appointment with general surgery.  I think I am just going to have the procedure done as soon as possible.
 
Thursday was a much slower bike ride than I have been doing over the past several weeks and made it a much better recovery day with no major surges or sprints.
 
Friday was a complete day off and it was much needed.
 
Saturday, I had a terrible night’s sleep and I ended up starting much later than my normal run and did this run on the TM.  I always have a little bit more swelling and pain when I run on the treadmill verses outside, but 10 miles complete varying the incline throughout taking it to an incline of 10 twice for a 1/4 mile each time.
 
And finally finishing the week off with a 25 minute run, which was optional on the schedule.  I figured since I skipped Monday’s workout I didn’t want to skip a second workout for the week.
 
Next week, I adjusted the schedule slightly to include a bike in place of the swim workout.  I am already considering shortening the long run on Saturday since I will be at my son’s house for the weekend.  Not sure how I am going to get the two long runs in since it isn’t the safest place to run.
 
All in all, a good week of running with 20 miles on the schedule.

    I have been competing in Marathons since 2003 and triathlons since 2005.  I had a total knee replacement (TKR) in March 2018.  I still love to run and compete.

A big shout out to David Boyer. Since starting my work with David, I have improved in all areas. I thought running two races in two days this weekend would be a challenge. David gave me a plan (which I tried to follow) and I actually felt stronger on day two on a longer more difficult course. But for some goggle/contact lens issues during the swim, I might have gotten on the podium. Still have a lot of work to do before IM Florida but this weekend has given me a boost in confidence. Thanks Coach!

...my coach David Boyer who is not only a Great coach, but a Godly person who texts me scriptures of encouragement at 4:30 in the morning before the race because he knows I've been up stressing about the swim! Thanks to you all I forever grateful!!!

Love Tri_More_Fitness coaching!!! just got an unexpected race day report breaking down the good, the not so good and the just plain ugly (ah, it wasn't that bad) LOVE getting great, solid, very detailed and constructive feedback. Totally looking forward to continuing to grow in the sport...so much room for growth and progress. My only problem is I want that progress like right now, immediately.
