Went to the pool again. Swam 100 breast to warm-up. Then 1000 free/breast mix. Cooled down with 100 free. Then rode the AirDyne for 23 minutes.

Got home and ate a banana and set out for a 6 mile run. It was 74f º when I left the house and very windy. The first 2 miles the wind was on my back. The next 2 it was head on in my face. It was starting to wear on me pretty quick. Plus I was not use to the warmer temps, especially in February. Still I had no desire to stop, just slow down a little. But then stomach troubles hit. I made the turn for home and called it a run at 4.6. I am sure the 2 bowls of chili for dinner last night, plus the bowl for lunch today were to blame for the upset stomach.

Still consider it a good workout for the day.

Swim - 1200 yards - 22:35

AirDyne - 6.6 miles - 23:00

Run - 4.61 miles - 36:42

Total Time - 1:22:17

Tonight starts the dreaded Midnight Shift. 6 in a row. Let the misery begin........

Looks like you're back in the saddle (and sounds like you have the bit in your mouth, to boot!).

I am changing things up a bit. I felt like I was a more fit person during my recovery than after. I was driven so hard to stay healthy while healing. Then once I got running again that is all I did. Some aches and pains started showing up as well. So now I am cutting back my mileage and upping my cross training. Trying to get in 90 minutes a day. This should prove well for me in the long run.

Thanks for the comments!
