| Will officially call this an "injury day". Decided against any real training, as my left hamstring isn't back to 100%. Actually feels slightly worse than yesterday, despite stretching and hot tub sessions. So, I decided to take it "easy" and spent the day cleaning out eavestroughs, re-stacking our spare lumber pile, pruning and trimming all the hedges, draining the hot tub for our time away, and planting a pear tree (now all we need is a partridge...).
I wasn't planning on much training over the next week anyway, though today was intended to be my last intensity day before the trip to Sweden. But losing one day of intervals compared to the presumed healing benefit for the hamstring seemed a good deal.
Schedule now includes two full OR days plus an ER call day x24 hrs. We leave this Wednesday afternoon, after 24hrs on call followed immediately by 8hrs in the OR. Flight schedule usually takes about 19 hours, plus driving either end. And we drive directly north for 5 hours once we land in Arlanda, to get to Katarina's parents' place. Still, no pager and no calls for 4 weeks, so that will be worth it all.
