Week 10 coming to an end

Training is progressing with a few set backs. Week ago Wednesday, I took the night off. I was so exhausted. Thursday I did get my third day of swimming in and a 55 min run. I did exchange my Zoot shoes for a 1/2 size larger. They seem like they are so long, but the width seems better. I did get a small blister inbetween my big toe and 2nd toe, but I think that was because my feet were slightly damp from swimming when I put my socks on. This last weekend was my birthday weekend. I did not go out and drink, but did have a busy weekend. Friday night I got my annual massage at The Spa at West Glen. I treat myself to a massage there every year because I feel like it is more relaxing than your typical $40 Y massage. You get to sit in the relaxation room and have a glass of wine and then you get a warm table and soft music and then after sit in the sauna. Who could ask for anything more. Well I could, I want someone to rub my feet while I sit in the sauna, lol. Saturday, I got up early to shovel. So after an hour of that, I was done and decided to come in and start cleaning. It has been awhile. It was taking me forever to clean. After 6 hours, I didnt have enough time to do my bike workout, but figured an hour of shoveling and 6 of cleaning was enough of a workout. I took a shower, watched 30 min of tv and then off to Hairball. That was great too. 3.5 hours of music right up front. I got redbull dumped on me from the band so I had really sticky hair, but it was all good. Sunday, I got my 1:50 run in. Just about got 13 miles in. It was such a nice day and it went by so fast. It was the first time of my legs not getting tired after 1:10. They were a little stiff on Monday, but some light stretching helped. After that, I had a birthday supper at my house where I invited some friends over. We had wine-a-ritas. They are awesome. Monday, I was completely drained of energy. I guess that run took more out of me than I thought. My hour swim ended at 35 min and I had to get a bike in too since I wasnt going to have time Tuesday night to do it because of the Motley Crue concert (which was awesome by the way). I spun for about 30 min. I just couldnt get my heart rate up because I couldnt get my legs moving fast enough. I went to bed. Tuesday morning I got up early to run. I ran 35 min of the 40. Still just so tired. Wednesday was another story. I felt great. I did my hour swim and then headed home to do the 1:10 bike from tuesday. Thursday was another good day. I got in a 30 min swim. I always feel really fast at the downtown pool, but in reality I am not. Then I got in a 60 min run with my new Zoots. I have come to the conclusion I am keeping them. I ran in them without socks which made a world of difference. Socks are over rated. I think I need to "break" in the beds a little bit. They just seemed a little sticky on my feet. I am sure it is just the coating on them. Today, I am a little stiff, but that is to be expected. This weekend I am staying home and reading and getting in my workouts and to finish up my "recovery" week. Next weekend is the big 2 hour run. Hope it is "warm" out for that.
