It was much cooler today than a week ago - however, it was very windy today. I am very happy to see clear progress this time. Crossing my fingers that it is a trend. Just a few very brief comments: I think the cooler temps worked in my favor. However, I think I am beginning to see the benefits of having made every second day a recovery day - I take most of the recovery days OFF but I have also done some elliptical crosstraining. I think the elliptical may not be helping me right now - it adds stress. I will experiment with doing more of the same but cut back the time spent on the elliptical when I do use it.
