Well, it took two weeks after getting sick and racing in Boise to finally start to feel better...at least my asthma that is. I had a decent training week including a couple swim sessions, a couple good runs, and nice solid 80 mile bike ride yesterday. I finally started running again on Wednesday. I'll tell you what, I still had problems with my airway. It was not happy for me to be running again. It was slightly better the next day on my run. Today I did 8 with Meg and I could tell it was much better, but still not close to 100%. That being said I had a great ride on Saturday including a two loop time trial type effort around Hagg Lake as I Will be racing their in two weeks. I felt very solid on my bike.
So this next week will be about getting back to some quality volume, but making sure I don't aggravate the airway anymore and continue to let it recover. I will be backing down on the interval sessions during the week unless my asthma is completely ok. All in all, I think I'm on the right track. I need to be smart about my build to IMC or I will probably end up sick...again. So I might be incorporating a little bit more rest than I normally would in one of these big builds. We'll see. I promised myself I would listen to my body this year and I didn't prior to Boise. And guess what happened? Yeah, no wonder Yates. Oh well, lesson learned...again!
Next week marks Meg's first half marathon! I'm going to be pacing her. Should be a ton of fun! Thanks for taking the time to read,
