new week

Oliver is coming on fast. I was running on Monday and thinking about how good I was feeling and how I was excited to get back to Bozeman to get in some good training. Unfortunately and suddenly right after that  thought I was on the ground. Tripped over something and took quite the digger.My knee got gashed pretty good. I made it back to the hotel, got it cleaned up and am going to the doctor today.

Tuesday
Okay fine. I will just start to settle into these swims. They are fine.
The ride was good too. Did 2 intervals up Hyalite. The others were part of the ride getting there.

Wednesday
Run- Mapped out a little route. Track seemed kind of boring. Either my route was shorter than I thought, or I ran those too fast. Under 7. Felt okay though.
Swim- Busted out ~3300. Wanted a good swim before we left. We did 100 IMs between longer free sets. Good workout to break things up. Masters is quiet right now. When I got out Nick and I were the only people in that huge pool.. It was neat to swim with the water so smooth.

Travel

Friday- Rented a bike. The bike shop people were really nice and drew a line on a map for a route for me. Nothing on the east coast goes in a straight line though and I spent a lot of time getting lost and back tracking. Learned why I am such a bad navigator. The ride was fun though. Finally got out on some more rural roads. Lots of punchy little hills. Rode back pretty hard, since I knew the way. You get pretty tired standing up on little climb after climb. Ride was about 4 hours total. Met Amy and Kim and went to the Red Sox game. 13 innings and they ended losing.

Saturday
Got out on the Charles River trails and did a two hour run. Felt really good the whole time. I think it had something to do with being at sea level. Ran up the river for an hour and back for an hour. Good run!

Sunday
Tired today. This conference involves a lot of drinking. Not on my game today. Annoyed since I had to give my poster. Did the 1900 swim this day in the hotel pool. I think the pool had something nasty in it. Was kind of sick to my stomach afterwards, but the shorter length wasn't that annoying and felt like the workout was effective. Tried the band swimming. Made it halfway and my feet were dragging on the bottom. Do I use my hips to keep my feel up? Was going to run, but decided not to. I was soo tired this day. Not a lot of sleep was much of the culprit.

Monday
Had it all planned out to run between my labs posters, some talks, and doing some sightseeing. Ate shit on the run and now have a giant gash on my knee. My plans got all screwed up.

Wed.
Need to get back at it. Travel was fun, but wow I spent a lot of money.  I don't love Boston. Think I'm more of of a west coast person. Glad to be home eating regular food etc.
