Week 10, Days 65-69

Days 65 & 66: I decided to take these two days as a recovery day. I am one that usually likes to take the whole week off after a race just to make sure I am fully recovered, but training for Ironman i decided to take two days off. I enjoyed these two days even though I was busy playing catch up with a lot of things I have been putting off. Tomorrow is a whole other story though, because it will be back to training!

Day 67: You guessed it I was up in Cartersville all day training! Today I went for a 4 mile run and I felt really good on the run which I was happy about. My legs and knees where feeling good and I averaged a little over 8 mins per mile. After the run we went on a 27 mile bike ride and it was amazing even though I took it easy on the bike, the hills didn't seem that bad after this weekend lol. I could have pushed myself a little harder on the bike but I decided to go easy to help recover a little more but still put in some miles. After biking over to Lake Allatoona I went to go for a short swim. Here is where I started to feel it. I really started to feel tired and fatigued and was ready for the swim to be over. I only swam about 1,200 - 1,600 yds, but I swear every direction I went I felt like I was fighting a current just because I was tired. I sure was happy to be done but I still had a long day ahead of me though, because then it was off to work. ugh Hopefully I will get some good rest after work and be ready to go again tomorrow.

Day 68 & 69: Lets just leave it as I did nothing =( Work and my husband had my attention!

I really am going to have to get my act in gear. If I can have an excuse for this week I would say I am recovering this week from Rev3.
