Lucky number 13!! This week got off with a rough start. My legs felt dead on Tuesday and were not much better on Wednesday. Finally, by Saturday they were feeling somewhat back to normal. Besides the fatigue, I had been fighting a tight achilles all week. I switched brands of shoes 2 weeks ago and when I switched back on Saturday. The tightness went away. Good news is that I have spare pair that is brand new and I can break them in for the marathon. Overall, I am pretty happy with how the week went. I did my 2nd 20 mile run this weekend 3 minutes faster than 2 weeks ago. I even ran my marathon pace from miles 10 through 15. I was feeling so good that I got stupid and skipped my GU at mile 15. I ran out of gas on the next climb and lost pace the rest of the way. Thursday was my 3rd swim lesson. I'm now working on getting my shoulders properly rotated when getting air. Its really challenging getting everything straight. There is so much to remember while trying not to drown.
Week 14 will be much more of the same. Lots of running, cycling, and swimming. My long run this week is 15 miles.

Glad to see the swimming is going well. But please don't drown. Mostly because I don't want to be left alone with John for lunch. Just kidding!
