My swim with Sarah was AWESOME this morning. I spent most of the workout trying to keep up with her and at the end, our coach set us up to race the last fast 100. The good news is that even though she kicked my ass, I did hang in there and I managed to do a 1:23 to her 1:22 -- I was thrilled because she is such a terrific swimmer.

After a stern talk with my coach this AM, I am on running restriction for the next three days. The good news is that taking the time off did help my knee and the injury is not serious enough to blow my chances at Boston unless I do something really really stupid. Not out of the range of possibilities but I am going to try very hard to not get in my way.

So I did a spin class and SAT DOWN the entire time. UUUGGHHH. I did stand for one or two pedal strokes just to give my butt a rest during a recovery interval but other than that, I played with speed, tension and time to get in a good workout. This was a good exercise for me because the instructor is not exactly inspirational and I had to keep myself going. I sure miss Dina :(
