Mood

Health
Somehow tweaked lower back this week, it started acting up on Thursday ride, possibly due to increased speed work, core class, and time on bike.  It loosened up on Sunday so I'll watch it and not push over next week.  Knee also a bit sore this week.  Otherwise healthy and weathered another kids' cold.

Comments:
Even with a day off this week, I was pretty tired and sore but felt I had some quality workouts and hit a couple of milestones (swim on Monday was aggressive and was able to keep pace with fast girl, Epic on Thursday in February and stayed in-the-game entire ride, quality 12 miles on Friday on tired legs and happy with speed effort).
