catskillsmarina and I did a total of about 9 miles this weekend. I am doing much better than I thought I would. The 7 miles on Saturday mostly only hurt my feet. The 2 miles yesterday were tiring, but I think I've found a gait that doesn't put as much strain on my shins. I feel pretty good this morning. A little achy - especially around my knees - and drained, but nothing I can't live with. Actually, my knees don't hurt as much as I thought they would. Just a dull ache, not the sharp, knife-like pain I've had.

Maybe get those weights tonight - remember it is not a workout.
Just 40 reps at the max.
9 or a bit less on Sat
3 or a bit more on Sun.
Feel good about it. You did great on Sunday - we just have
to string a bunch of those together ;-)
and that ended up being 3 mph - and we did about 1:20 - not one hour - so it could
have even been 4 miles. ...though the breaks ate at that.
I was reading about channel swimmers - they eat every hour - broth and carb stuff
in the beginning of the swim then every 30 minutes later into the swim.
