My calf was acting up a litlle after last weeks trail run. I went for a run after Sundays swim workout, but it starting getting worse so I cut the run short. This week we've decided to cut way back on running on order to give the leg some rest. I am really noticing that I do not bouce back from hard workouts like I used to. Getting old is a bitch! I don't feel old, but I guess I should face reality and don't over do it and make sure to take time to recover properly.

I felt great in the pool on Tuesday. Found a nice pace and kept it steady through out the workout. I was looking forward to getting back in the pool on Thursday, but life got in the way.

The spin workout on Wednesday evening was a but kicker as usual. Muscular endurance intervals for an hour or so. This is probably why I was feeling a little sluggish on the ride today. It was also cold and wet out there. I swear it was haling at on point. It's taken me 2 hours to get feeling back in my toes. I got it done though which I am happy about. I was very tempted to bail on the second loop around San Pablo reservoir. It was raining pretty good when I cam around the first time. Left would have been back to the car and warm clothes, but I just put my head down and went right for another round. This loop is about 20 miles all the way around and has it's share of climbs. We call it the Three Bears from the series of hills along Bear Creek Rd.

I broke down and joined a gym today. I hate the gym, but the deal was pretty good. One of my team members had freinds and family discounts available this weekend. The gym has a pool which meens I won't have to pay at the other pool anymore. That saving will make up most of the monthly dues. I figured I might get some use out of the weights as well so that justified the expense.

Looking forward to some guy time with the kids tonight, that's if my rotten teenager bothers to come home:-) I'm kidding of course, about the rotten part, he's a good kid. Mette going out with girl freinds tonight. But first I'm scheduled for a massage tonight. I need to get some blood flowing in the legs again.
