Not a big week, based on hours, and I am still recovering from it! But the good news is I lifted weights (no legs!) yesterday, and swam NORMALLY today and I'm not dead tired! My coach has an easy week planned for me next week. I think he's really convinced I won't rest like I should, but I know that my legs are truly beat up, and it's been years since I've rested like I am now, so I'm good with it. My next race is a "C" race, but I've got plenty of time to increase my biking volume and get back to running. After that the big push to Brazil begins.

I still have this crazy, happy feeling from Goofy. Not working out too much helps that. But soon enough it will be time to get back on that horse, and I want to be ready for it mentally and physically.

Rest is good. Even for a Crackhead.
