Forgot to post yesterday. It was really busy. I ran yesterday morning. Jeff didn't want me to do more than 3 miles. I have a route that is 3.3 miles so I decided to do that. Yes, it's a little long. I steadily got faster as the distance increased. I went 9:02 for the first mile, 8:40 for the second mile, 8:38 for the third mile and was at 8:00 pace for the final .3. I felt pretty good and the milage was easy. I have a little IT band pain in my right hip. It was there in the first mile and then subsided. My left knee has been a little tender for the past few days as well. I don't think it's anything serious.

I swam this morning. I don't really have a plan this week so I pulled one of the longer swims from earlier in the month. I got a late start today and skipped the cool down 100 yards. Swim yardage ended up being 2600 for the day. Back to doing some kickboard work. I can tell there is still some leg fatigue after the race. I got mixed up and did some of the wrong workout today. Nice job. No big deal. I adapted and moved on.
I went to REI yesterday and diversified my nutrition. I bought honey stingers but left out the Ginsting variety. It still makes my stomach turn to think about those after the race. I bought some GU including the Cherry Lime since that tasted so good in Austin. Who knew? I also bought some Shot Blocks. I intend on mixing up the nutrition this winter and spring.
Tomorrow morning my trail running brother Joe is doing the Rockledge Ultra race. I am going to help crew him for the race so I may take tomorrow off. I could probably still use some rest. I'm not all the way back yet. Should be fun to help him out. The Matrix is going to man a few stations as well. Joe doing 30 miles tomorrow. The terrain is familiar since it our home turf for trail running.
