Stretching, rolling, and recovery day.

Week in review:

I had a really good week.  It feels so good to be able to run again and feel like an athlete.  I feel more confident every week with my foot.  I have really focused on taking care of my body with nightly stretching and rolling and I think it has made a difference.  My left leg is not nearly as tight and I can definately feel where the tightness comes from when I roll.  I've really been working on that area to loosen things up and it has helped.

I started wearing my HR monitor again so I can track where I am with my running.  The first 2 runs I was around 141-144 BPM which I think is a little high.  I also have noticed, especially with swimming, I have an issue with CO2 buildup really fast so it messes up my breathing sometimes.  I am researching that right now because I think if I can get my breathing under control I will be able to increase my speed.  It's not anything I have thought about until this week and after a little research I learned that it's something I need to work on.

Along with my running I got in 3 rides for a total of 35 miles and 2 swims for a total of 3,100 yards.

Overall I am thrilled with the week and my progreass.  The goal for next week will be 35+ miles with a long run of 12 miles with the same amount of biking and swimming.  Once I get to that point I will maintain for a while and focus on breathing, form, and speed.
