20 miles on indoor bike keeping RPMs above 90.  Then 1 mile on TM pretty darn slow.  I was completely wiped out after the ride. Guess I pushed a little too hard.  Calf felt fine on the short very slow run though.

Core. Then 5 miles pushing hard on indoor bike.  Then 5 very slow miles on TM.

Did a little lower body work tonight and recalibrated my power meters on my indoor bike.

I got out on the trails for the first time in a long time. It was fun but slow and I tripped and went down once scratching up my hands and leg. All good though. Calf is a bit tight but not bad. 
13 miles

Pilates followed by 4 miles on TM.  

Then had to drop my truck off at the shop so rode to work and will be riding back to the shop at the end of the day to pick up my bike.  About 6 total miles.

I'd like to try and get in some more bike time tonight while watching MNF.

Got in 20 miles on the indoor bike. Actually ended up doing it while watching a continuing education course.

30 minute swim, nice and slow and easy for my first swim since May.  It was good to get back in the pool, but it's going to take a few weeks to get back in swimming shape.  Ended up doing 1400 m.

Then went home and did 1 mile nice and easy on TM.

10 minutes (3.3 miles) on indoor bike before lower body weights and core

40 minutes swimming.  1750 meters.  Even slower than Tuesday.  The last 10 minutes were rough.  Good thing I have a few months to get my swimming back.

20 miles on the indoor bike doing another CE course.

37 mile ride with group. I got dropped on a few of the climbs but it will only make me stronger. 
 

I'm glad tomorrow is Sunday. My legs need a rest.

Started the morning with some pilates, then did 6 easy miles on the TM.

Legs felt better today than they have in a long time!  Still a bit tired but no niggles.  Maybe all the stretching and core work is helping out.

Went to the park with the boys and played soccer for a couple hours.

20 miles indoor bike not pushing as hard as usual.

1 hour swim, 2600 m.

Still nice and slow as I build the distance. I'll stay at 1 hour for a while and hopefully increase the distance.

16 miles on the trails. Felt much less like a slog today. Had a small niggle in my left calf that never amounted to anything. Hopefully it's nothing.

37 mile bike with Jason.  Was fun to ride and talk and not kill ourselves like we do when Craig is there.

3 mile family hike to Table Top.  It was fun.  Maybe a little too much for my parents, but they survived.
