My legs are pretty shattered today from having done some really good bike mileage in the last two days. I decided to not ride today and went for a 40 min easy run with my training partner Dawn. This was our first post-surgery run together and the pace was ok. We brought her dog, so I would get plenty of opportunities to catch my breath whenever nature called.

All things considered I'm pretty happy with how quickly my fitness is coming back. May 8th will be three months post-surgery and hopefully I will be back up to regular run volume by then. I'm already at regular bike and swim volume, of sorts. Bike volume will increase 25% in May and then another 15% on top in June. By late June, should be peaking towards 17-18 hours on the bike weekly.

Tomorrow I have a Dr's appointment; let's hope all is well in the infection department (he's an infection specialist). Then it will be another three hours on the bike; let's hope its not raining.
