cut short

My monday speed work was cut short because they had to close the pool. This turned a 2000 yard workout into an 800 yard workout. Oh well. My weekly mileage is not nearly where it was in May but I am getting some distance in open water every week. Since my overall distance per week is reduced I figure the speed work and intensity is that much more important. Maybe I'll make my speed work a twice a week thing instead of just once a week.
On the other hand I think my strength training is going well. I think I'm going to add some more poundage to my deadlift. But maybe I'll do a smaller increment. Up until now I've been doing five pound steps. I'm thinking maybe I could do a two pound step
