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).

Tried a new weight lifting system today called Strive. It’s circuit training weight lifting with different settings for each set of 3. I didn’t feel like I got a very good workout since I am used to free weights as opposed to machines, but we’ll see how sore I am tomorrow. The nice thing is that it is quick. People swear they get results within 2 weeks, I’ll test it out.
