Took today off

Ended up taking the day off as far as training goes. I had planned to do a cycling field test and a swim but last night I took a muscle relaxer... That seemed to help my back but it is still tender and I'd rather heal well and hit it hard than try to push through and potentially screw it up but good for my goal event.

It's funny because you get feeling so good and strong that you don't want to miss workouts, especially with a race coming up. It's 18 days from now and I hate to slack off, but realistically I will not get any faster before then... I could potentially run a bit stronger, longer at lactate threshold but probably not a big difference over the course of a 13.1 mile run.

So I'll see how I feel tomorrow and get in the water / run. I do need to get a long run in this weekend, I was hoping for a 12 miler on Sunday Morning.
