Decent run today, but not a ride. After the run my knee reminded me it's present state is not optimal, so I iced.

Sweet morning workout in the pool.
2100 yards, 45:37 2:10 100s. Not so bad. More importantly I felt great.
No ride tonight, too much going on with work and family. Will pick it up later this week.

This is the penultimate week to taper. Crazy. Last Sunday during my long run I jammed my knee. It's a little sore, feels like I have tendinitis again. I'll have to lower the intensity a bit this week and ice like mad and hope I can bring the knee back to health.
The week so far:
Monday - Off
Tuesday - 1900yds pool 44:30, Bike trainer 1:00:00
Weds - 5.6 mile run 46:27
I decided to push the trainer to tomorrow or Friday. Have a good hour to run tomorrow and wanted to rest/ice tonight.
24 days.. I'm ready to do this.

Super hot day. Managed to get a run in, no bike though, too hot. 90 when I started my run, 97 when I finished. Ended up being the hottest day ever in Seattle. Crazy.
SLOW run in the heat. Only saw 2 other runners, I usually see 40 or so. Hydrated well in the morning, drank on the run.
Run - 7.5 mi 1:09:52

Today was interesting, I was pretty stiff and tired. The heat here in Seattle made sleeping a little less than comfortable, and I had was out the door at 5:30 to get some family members off to the airport.
After a few cups of joe and advil, I was doing better. Focused on water and stretching throughout the day, and hit the pool tonight. The pool was insane, folks standing in the lanes, others swimming across, 12 year old lifeguards too busy chatting to do anything about it. Love it, good practice for tri's. You never know what's going to happen in a race, so why should the pool be any different :-)
Today's workout:
Pool - 44:31 2000yds.
It's a taper week! That's it for today.
