Don't Know What You Got... Until It's Gone

I received this weeks workout plan via email from Coach Paul. I almost cried. Tears of joy now... pain later this week? We'll see.

Thurs off!
Friday 30 mins straight swim / no buoy but open turns / 60 mins tempo spin
Sat off
Sunday 90 mins outdoors ride (I am so looking forward to being able to do this!)

I rowed today. Did 5000 meters straight. I forgot to check my HRM after to see my avg. HR... but I definitely broke a sweat. The left knee is still a little swollen so there is some discomfort... but no pain.

I swam for a half hour yesterday in the morning... outdoor pool... what a great way to clear your head. I felt very serene when I got out of the water... though had to run into the YMCA building as there was a 40 mph wind howling. Then last night, hopped on the stationary bike for 30 minutes. Again... some discomfort but no pain. Kept the HR under 110 for the whole spin.
