    mon- run 2k. bike 40. couldn't keep up with the faster group the last few kilometers home

    tues -swim 2k, did some strange yoga class called kundalini. not sure about this yoga stuff

    wed- bike 55. it was hot-dang hot. Over 105 degrees. It has been over 100 all week.

    thurday- swim 1.6k, even the water is getting too warm, some gym stuff but no running.

    friday-running class with sprints & such (3k) Did another slow 3k afterwards. Legs sore from sprints

    saturday-Legs still sore from sprints but did a slow 6k run. Then did a 5k bike, 1k run (with son) Had a productive day sorting through piles of junk. It is amazing what you can do when you aren't sitting at a swim meet all day long...although I admitt that I love to watch my little fish swim fast :) 

    Did better with my PT this week. After all the sprints on Friday, my hip ached but wasn't really that sore. I hope this is a good sign.  I read the blog link about the top mistakes runners make. I think I did every one of them.  Botom line- I need to increase my total running time per week. Rather than distance or speed, just total running time right now. I've only been running about twice per week, but this week I did 3x and was ok. I think I am  going to try to fit in 2-3 short runs per week and then one 6k per week. If my hip cooperates, I will start adding some more distance again.

    Sasha really knows his stuff :)

    Glad the PT stuff seems to help, and it looks like you've had a GREAT week!

    I've read that top 10 list too. I remember thinking that I make some of those mistakes, but I try to not think about them too much, because ignorance is bliss.

    You are keeping busy with a good variety of different exercises. I think that is really important to help stay strong and prevent injury.

    I'm going to try and not complain about the weather- I can't believe you're already having such horrible heat. I'm sure it's heat with humidity, which is just insufferable. Crock-pot cookin' hot.
