2000 km of Training Week 10: 1397.6 to go

Sun: Rest
Mon: 14/1:03:45/4:30/Mach 11 My long run on Saturday left me feeling confident, and I decided to do some fartleks on this run. Felt good, with just a little tightness in the knee towards the end.
Tue: Swim 40 min, Bike 35K. Learned the hard lesson of how crowded the pool is around 10:00 a.m. with senior citizens. Won't do that again!
Wed: 16.5/1:19:13/4:48/Trek Was happy to do the long route and not have any issues with my knee. Had given up on the Treks, but decided to give them a try again because the long run went well last week in the VFFs. They were ok until I the last few kms, when I started to get blister probs in the same place as always, on the outside of my right foot. I guess I will plan on only using them for shorter runs.
Thu: 11.4/55:35/4:51/VFF Legs pretty stiff since I barely had 12hrs of rest, but ok once I got warmed up, but still it easy.
Fri: Bike 33k
Sat: 32/2:38/4:56/Evo Garmin died on me (again), so not exactly sure on the time or pace, but should be about right. I was never able to really pick it up like I did last week on my long run, but otherwise it was a good run. No knee pain or tightness, although my calves were feeling a bit tight about halfway through, but that went away. Was a little bit of a mental struggle to run past the starting point for the last 10k.

Total mileage: 73.9 Good mileage for only running four days.
