Went and lifted a few hours after swimming early this morning and was lacking energy, not to mention I added more weight to almost every thing I did. I haven’t swam in 2 weeks and my long run yesterday are taking a toll on this ol’ body! My knee is swelling and feels like it’s really tight, not sure what is going on there. Hope the knee will be ready for my longest run yet on Friday (12 miles).

    Be careful getting so close to your race. After your run today I expect you start your taper? As you taper don’t forget your other activities can affect you too.
    Enjoy your long run.

    So rugman, I need some advice since I am not a seasoned runner. Should I not lift at all during the taper? I was hoping that lifting might help strengthen the ol’ knee, but maybe I am pushing it too hard.
    I guessing that swimming is ok to keep doing since it doesn’t affect my knee much. What are your thoughts?
    Thanks very much for any insights you may have.
