After almost a week completely off I was able to get back into the swing of things. Monday after the race I rolled my ankle pretty good playing with the kids in the driveway and ended up with a grade 3 sprain. By Thursday I was able to get back to some exercise with a heavily taped ankle. I did a 3.5 miler on the treadmill at 29:50, then on Sunday got back out on the bike for an hour and a half doing 28 miles. On Tuesday of this week I did a 5 mile run in 40:13, which was a good pace for me, and followed that up with 2,050 meters in the pool on Thursday.
I am not sure what the next few months have in store as far as events go, but I would think mostly running events over the winter. I have the Fall 5 miler next weekend in my area and I want to see if I can go sub 40 minutes on that. This fall and winter is going to be all about continuing to improve my running and getting faster with a lot of speed work, and occasionally some long slow ones. Right now I just want to run a lot, and supplement that with at least one long swim and bike workout each week. Not too much planning though!
