morning - 12.25 Bracken's Loop. Another nice desert trail run. Went with Steven up through the sand on Brackens' Loop then ended with Molly's Mile. Felt pretty good. These trail runs put a lot more time on the legs than road runs. (Triumph 769) Solid recovery week. With some nice time in the dirt to end the week. Goals for next week: One more recovery week. No need to push it with State XC this week, use the time to get my own legs back and focus on the team. Lap swim: 15 minutes - first time I have been swimming in a long time. Felt very good. Had wanted to swim after the marathon, but it was just too cold (unbelievably after the heat on race day). Pool was just a little chilly, but who is to complain when you are swimming outside in mid-October.
