Recovery

I promise to get the race report down this weekend.  I returned home and have been SLAMMED with work...way more than 8 hour days.  And of course they have all been crazy, like walking into a patient's home yesterday to find that he fell on the floor and was stuck under the bed.  Guess which PT had to lift a grown man, incapable of standing, off of the floor and back into bed?  Hello!!!!  So much for ironman race recovery!  But, as I always seem to be complaining about being broke, working hard certainly won't hurt me.  (although don't be surprised if I start having mysterious back pain this year....)

My recovery week has looked like this:
Mon- travel
Tues- swim 20 min
Wed- bike 40 super easy on the trainer while watching IMTX videos
Thurs- swim 1 hour
Fri- small chain ring group ride this morning (thank goodness they actually kept the thing recovery oriented or I would have been in trouble)

I have to watch myself the week after an ironman because I usually feel so good and motivated.  I am dying to go for a run!  I feel great!!!  But, now is the time to take it easy on my joints.  (I bet the 20-year-olds don't say that, and the 40-year-olds are thinking I have NO clue! LOL!)

Okay, off to work- Happy Friday!!!!!!!  Will work on race report asap.
