A bunch of us took advantage of the holiday Monday and went for a nice mid-morning group ride. We kept it easy and social and it felt great to spin out the legs.

Thursday -
I had been having some slight ankle pain on and off for a few days, but it was really bad on Wednesday and Thursday. I couldnt' figure out what was causing it, but I was actually limping when I walked. We had planned to swim after work but spent the evening shopping for a treadmill and started my bike search instead.
Friday - rest
My ankle was feeling better but I took the extra rest day as a precaution since I had a big weekend coming up.
Saturday - swim + bike + run
Wasaga Sprint Tri.... report to follow, but here's a hint:
Sunday - run + eat
I woke up pretty sore and tired and didn't have great expectations for the long run. Luckily I was meeting the group and we had an awesome post-run brunch planned, so I knew I could get through it. We were also treated to a beautiful cool morning; I actually felt pretty chilly for the first third of the run. It heated up as the morning went on, but I could definitely handle this kind of weather FOREVER.
We started on the easy side and I ended up feeling a lot better than planned. My legs were pretty sore by the end, especially after being bombarded by hills for the last 5K, but my energy level was pretty consistent and I finished off feeling really good. Just a couple of long runs to go!!
34.4KM (21.4mi) - 3:11:09 - 5:33/KM (8:55/mi)
Brunch was the best part....

I had planned for this to be a recovery week from running, though I didnt' expect it to be this light. I;m just glad my ankle felt better after a couple of days off. Cycling and swimming were also a bit lighter than planned, but I had a great race on Saturday and finished strong with the long run so I'd say the week was definitely a success. A little extra rest never hurt anyone...

D always says you can't "over-train", you can "Under-rest". :) To each their own, clearly you did the right thing for the ankle! Hope its feeling better!

Great week and congrats on the sprint! you are doing awesome!
Wow you continue to amaze me!!!!!! Keep it up!
I just now realized that bike-muted meant you commuted to work on your bike. For some reason I thought you rode your bike to work without talking...:)
I'm going to assume by the photo above that your ankle troubles were no longer. Congrats on your race, and I am super excited to hear more of the deets! :)
Not sure whether I like the medal pic or the breakfast pic better. The medal is great of course but that food looks divine. (Note to self - eat breakfast before looking at blogs)
Wow, great week!
I really had to laugh at Run Jess Run's comment!!
