Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman
Separation anxiety can be stressful, for those who stay and for those who leave.
Second passive recovery day as I watch my muscles letting go of tension from mild over training, starting with my hip flexors, then my quads, followed by hamstrings, and calves, and now my feet are starting to feel good.
All that tension gets transmitted elsewhere.
Back to regular training, easy week, tomorrow, and gradual ramp up.
Pacing your training after major surgery is a work of art - body art - and it’s so interesting watching the muscles slowly letting go. Willbe, our yellow lab, has trouble letting go if I go out without him, but it was too hot to leave him in the car.
View from above my head, as I sit on the couch.
I tried to explain, but to no avail. He was fine, don’t worry.
Later, I sat on the couch and within minutes all three, Cat (aka Rafeekee), Willbe and Scooter, were sitting around or on me, which made me think of the forest leeches in Borneo, finding unwary people stopping for a picnic on the ground, migrating along the ground, making the leaves rustle as they approach their prey - though our non-human companions are much nicer than those leeches, but I guess some other leeches loves them.
