Training Journal 7/23-7/29

Monday July 23-Sunday July 29: Recovery from 100 mile race week, with a major emphasis on biking mostly due to the painful blister and toe nail loss from the race

This nastiness kept me from running early in the week.  As the pain reduced I was able to run on Sat/Sun

Monday: 17 mile bike ride at Lake Tahoe.  1 hour 500 feet of climbing.
Tuesday: 67 mile bike ride, most the way around lake Tahoe.  Stopped a little short due to severe knee pain that I sometimes get with a lot of biking.  3,600 feet of climbing
Wednesday: Nothing
Thursday: 22.6 mile bike ride in Bellingham, 1 hr. 20 min. 1000 feet of climbing
Friday: 32.7 mile bike ride, 2:02 hr Chuckanut Drive/Lake Samish. 2,500 feet of climbing.  A little knee pain.
Saturday: 6.5 mile run, 1000 feet of climbing. Urban trails and road, Sehome/Fairhaven area.
Sunday: 5 mile run at night all road 500 feet of climbing.  Sehome hill area, 45 minutes, easy pace.
