"It's baked in the cake."

That was a comment a patient said to me this week when I was telling him what I was doing and how tight and just plan crappy I felt. The point of the comment is that there isn't anything else I can do now to gain any fitness. It is what it is. It is baked in the cake. I never heard it put like that, so thought I would share. Well now to this week. I took Mon. off and everything was ok after the race on Sun. I was feeling alittle sluggish on Tues. , but pushed through a 25 mile bike followed by 8.5 miles off the bike. Just had tired legs. Bagged my swim that night. Woke up Wed. feeling so tight. Got 3000m in at lunch. Cut my 40 mile ride back to 20 miles on the computrainer. Thurs. I was just crazy tight and nothing was helping. I was stretching constantly. Rolling on the foam roller every 10 min. You know just everything. I cancelled my track workout with Ahmed, but did mange 8.5 mile easy run. I usually see "The Princess of Pain Pauline" on Fridays, but called and got in with her in the evening. Helped a lot but was pretty sore. More on her later. She has helped me so much I don't even know where to start right now. So that leaves me here sitting at the computer today. Got 3100m in earlier. Here, I will list my swim workout so I fit in with Steveo. lol 300s, 200d, 3x100 very fast 15 sec rest, 200d, 8x100 sprint triathlon pace 15 sec rest, 200d, 2x500 HIM pace 30 sec rest, 100 cooldown Well anyway I am still pretty tight and sore from my massage so I am thinking of bagging my 20 miles computrainer ride. I guess I am going to just see how I feel this weekend, and use my best judgement on what I should and shouldn't do. More to come.
