Easy run before a brick workout

Saturday our "team" trains together and we are doing a brick workout. That is when you swim then bike and then run to get accustomed to the triathlon. Knowing this i wanted to do a shorter but faster run. Now if only i could do it faster...

3@25:35

Outside is the nice side.

I started out on cool crisp morning absent from the constant roar of nearby traffic. When all of a sudden honk honk honk. I looked for the car accident but none could be found. Then two Canadian geese rise out of the clearing above the pond, zzwwwooooppp, zzwwwooooppp goes the sound of their wings as they gain altitude and honk out of sight. I clip my feet into my peddles and start my ride to the Y to swim.

Nice day, Nice Run

I ran a loop that i do frequently and i started out thinking i don't want to do this but I'm going to. I remember when i was running 17+ miles trainging for my first marathon, how at the beginning it was tough because i knew i had so long and far to go. But with each step i got closer to my goal. Today i got a few steps closer too. Some hills were flatter and some "walking spots" have turned into running spots. And the few walking spots that were still around... I blame not wanting to get hit by a car.

Not a great swim. Did some speed at the track

I swam 2000m yesterday and got back in the pool unmotivated. Swam for about 45 minutes, don't know the distance. That was a waste and i won't do that again. When I got home and ran to the track to do some speed work. I did 3 qtr miles. I was tired.

Two Thousand Meters

I swam over 2000M today (20 football fields) and it felt good. I notice that if i keep my legs straight and kick at the hips (small movement) everything goes better. It seem more power and less drag.
