Account for Tuesday; Workouts?
OK, I missed my workout Monday so I called it a rest day after 3 workouts Sunday. Enuff justification.
I got a 4.2 mi jog in at lunch today. Feeling Sunday in my thighs but I am seeing progress in my stamina and had to make a concious effort to slower my jogging pace a few times to try to jog farther before needing to walk a bit. I started out with jog to walk interval of 10 to 1 min. That degenerated over the distance to 8 to 1 then 6 to 2 and finally 4 to 1. And the last mile was just jog till I couldn't, walk till I caught my breath, then jog some more and kicked the last 200 yds (which was more of a faster jog than sprint but much faster than I had been jogging). I felt like the body was trying to go at my older pre-hip surgery faster jog pace and that excites me.
What have you got to share??

Congrats on baby, I didn't know. Just went over your profile and photos. Good stuff!
I can only fantasize about doing a 2.5 mile swim followed by a 112 mi bike and a 26.2 marathon. A 14-16 hr work out. That sounds like more fun than one person should be allowed.
I will endeavor to be content with improving my 6 mile jog, 10 mi bike, 2 mile walk into closer proximity ot one another and get better and faster. I figure by the time I am say,...3 years out, maybe. Do they have an old fogey category?

2000 yards in the pool - 50 minutes. Got a GREAT tip during the class -- such a simple thing really helped my breathing/stroke. Felt absolutely great. I'm sure it's mental on this one but after the cortisone shot this morning I really don't feel quit as tired. Looking forward to a good race tomorrow and if I'm feeling good I should be able to get a nice ride in Thursday (potentially at least)
We did descending loops at "Track" to day. I actually managed to run every one faster than the next like I was supposed to. Yeah me!
