Earlier this week, I was on track for a very hefty week of distances. On Monday, I knocked out a nice 6 mile run. Tuesday saw me ride for 20 miles, swim for 2500 meters and then run in the afternoon with the kiddos for a few. The morn of Wed, I endured 3500 meters in the pool, then pulled up a little early due to a tiny pain in my bicep. Didn't want to push it too hard.
But then the stomach bug hit that afternoon and I was incapacitated for 48 hours by some major D. The worst I have experienced in many years. Think I lost close to 10 pounds in 3 days.
So today I wanted to get back into the swing of things. A nice 10-miler helped this morning, but I could tell by the end that I am still not back to 100 %. I felt fine, just a little on the slower side. No worries.
Think I am sad, though, that half a week of major workouts got taken from me. Wasn't able to run 3.5 hours like planned or bike for 5 hours today. But I will make those happen this next week. Should push fairly hard for the next week and a half or two, then start my taper.
