Retrain and Roller coaster part II

So I'm taking this week as another recovery week and will finish it off as such. Then a 5 week Peak work out period before a two week taper.

Today I planned a 6 miles at a very easy pace and then targeted 1600 yards in the pool. The run went OK but my heart rate still went above 145 during mile 5, this is not a good sign. I stopped at mile 5.

The swim is the first one in 10 days. I have forgotten a few things, my friend has been teaching me new techniques for swimming but they took a bit of time to remember. So I managed 34 lengths of 60 before I stopped. The top of my stomach was getting really sore, I'm hoping that this was just a result of "making myself long" which is my body moving from couch potato mode to swimming mode. The other option is something to do with strep and this would be bad.

Its a bit of roller coaster on the health just now. I booked my yearly physical to coincide with my peak workout so that I could show off my weight loss and how fit I was. Well the strep took care of that. However my Blood Pressure is through the roof and the E.K.G. didn't go well. Its been referred to a cardiologist as it "didn't look right". So a few sleepless nights until I get the results of that one! I swear my body just doesn't like me, it must be the amount of exercise I do and this is how its paying me back.

I'm swaying between a 50, 60 or 70 mile bike tomorrow. I am starting to settle on a 60 with the option to go another 10.
