Week 31

Saturday, August 4

43 miles! Longest run ever! Felt pretty good the entire time, other than the fact that my left knee began to hurt the last 12 miles...didn't hit the wall at all, felt like going 50, but decided not to because of the left knee. Took cold soak, iced the knee a lot. Started run at 5 am, finished around 11:40...six hours of sleep the night before, did not need to take nap at all on Saturday; felt great!

Friday, August 3

Day off...preparing for tomorrow's long run of 30-40 miles. Ate a lot of food. It was good.

Thursday, August 2

12 miles easy to Oak Lake...felt awesome! Swam 1000 m easy in the afternoon. Felt incredibly good on the run...my body is well recovered from last Saturday's 28 miler.

Wednesday, August 1

Got up early and ran 7 before work, ran 5 at 4 pm, and then did swim PT...completed all pushups in this workout! Hooray! Total swim 1000 m.

Tuesday, July 31

PFT...swam sidestroke for maybe about 300 m...76 pushups, 92 situps, 10 "pullups"...need to not kick so much...did not do timed run, easy mile...total miles for today = 8.

Monday, July 30

12 on Murdoch...felt pretty good...shorts were ripped and flapping around like a loincloth...legs started to feel sort of sluggish at around mile 9.
