Another morning swim!

RUN 7 miles in 60 mins, 8:34 m/m
SWIM 2000 yards in 49 mins

I'm feeling the good taper energy! My mind is so much clearer, I'm more relaxed, and I'm looking for more to do. (Can't discount some relief from personal stress either, it's not gone but it is alleviated a bit).

Great run this morning, lots of little things: finally saw that LC's guy is real; I managed to remember my knuckle light but it was dead; the yellow leaves glowed in the sunrise; we actually had a visible sunrise for the first time in 5? days; there was a pretty misty fog of the soccer fields; a misty cloud that looked like it was coming from a picnic table around mile 6.3 (it was really coming from a vent in the ground); gave my USMS punch card to LC; what else...

And for the 2nd morning in a row, I got to the pool! Today's workout seemed so easy, in fact it seemed easier than the WU and CD. WU was 4x200's and CD was 600 pull. The MS was 4x (25 easy, 25 hard, 25 kick, 25 choice). I ended up doing 5x the MS set and a 500 pull. I was cold, bored, and wanted out of the pool.

I was debating a swim tomorrow, but after sending an email to SM about finding an "accountability group" she stepped up and announced she's swimming tomorrow morning. So now it's looking good for 3 mornings in a row.

Why am I suddenly getting to the pool as schedule with only days left before the race! LOL!
