Notes:

• My legs felt SO heavy on my Tuesday run. I haven’t felt like that in forever! I walked a ton the day before, but wtf, legs! Dumb taper.
• It felt really odd to work out so little this week, but again, taper (and wasn’t free to teach or swim when I normally do).
• I talked to Bobbi and Riyanti today about how strange it was to me that I felt so hungry at the end of the race, despite sticking to my planned fueling every four miles. Then Riyanti pointed out that I slowed down a lot, and my four miles was more spread out. DUH, Kim. I fuel every thirty-five minutes and had picked four miles because that was easy to remember – when going race pace, four miles = thirty-five minutes. But that math doesn’t work when you get off pace! DUUUUUH.
• I’m really hoping I can do some cardio this week, but I have to see how my knee heals from my fall at the race! It’s swollen, bruised, and not scabbed over yet. You might see a lot of walking in next week’s training recap!
