Last week was pretty glorious. After such a big week before that, it was nice to recover and get in some easier workouts. I did yoga every morning (finally), and got plenty of s/b/r in the evenings. By about Wednesday I felt normal again. Rest and recover. Then for the weekend we went down to visit my parents in SC. It rained the entire time we were in Greenville, but we still had a blast. And of course, the rain didn't keep the kids out of the pool!

This week is back on the Build 2 phase. These workouts are the most intense and race-like of the entire training plan. This is it, the race is 7 weeks away. 3 weeks of build, another recovery week, then a 2 week taper + race week. I've got to be very careful with my recovery strategy in these next 3 weeks. Volume and speed have to come together perfectly for me to get the most out of this very important time. Build 2, week 1 here I come!
