one week ago today I opened my workout log I saw the comments from Coach Sean - "we will just jump right into it and see how it goes" - so we jumped.
This week I was able to do all of my workouts with no pain or discomfort (except for maybe in my lungs at times). I got through 12 workout sessions - 3 weights, 4 bike, 5 runs - I biked about 110 miles and ran 26 miles. Was able to get a good brick in yesterday - 42/4. I am not running as fast as I would like but after 8 weeks off I am please with my training performance.
Unfortunately, I had a small bike crash on Saturday but luckily there was no real damage to my bike or myself. I do have some of the familiar scrapes and bruises and one on my elbow that makes it difficult to ride in the aero position but that is something that will heal with time.
This week will 8 sessions of training leading up to a race on Sunday. I will use this race as a hard training session and not focus as much on time as on getting stronger and faster.
7 weeks to Nationals - we will make a decision after racing this weekend and next and see what we will do - no sense in going all the way to Richmond unless there is a good shot of doing well.

Glad you were not seriously hurt in the bike crash. I'll be working the race on Saturday, as usual. If I don't see you there, good luck!!
