T-Minus 75 Days and Counting. . .

Took a well-deserved rest day on Sunday and it paid off. The brief ice bath I took after the 14 miles on Saturday helped and I'm planning on repeating that process after the long runs. Think it helps lessen the swelling in the knees and feet and makes for a better recovery the next day. Didn't have the usual quad soreness on Sunday.

Hit the pool tonight for a little cardio cross training. Hadn't been in the water in several months and it felt like it. Did about 35 minutes of intervals and, after the initial warmup, started to get into a rhythm. Only did about 700 yards but it felt good to be back in the pool.

Set for 5 x 1200 intervals on the path tomorrow night as we begin another tough week.
