Thursday RUN 10 miles in 1:50
Friday SWIM 2000y in :50
Saturday RUN 6.5 miles in 60 mins
Sunday RUN 1.5 miles in 13 mins
Geez you'd think I was really training for something with those numbers...!!!
The Thursday run was a surprise, I had some mental low moments but overall the run get better over time. I felt like I keep going and going for more! Refreshing in the end, didn't hurt or wear me out. I was concerned about the slick fresh but frozen over snow, but it was minimal and melting by finish time. This was just an out-n-back into TGP.
Friday's swim was another surprise--there were 9 other Club members at the pool! The BHB was there too, she has a job! :) In the end this was therapeutic, I had a pretty bad morning. RM and I had planned to meet for this swim and in the end it was exactly what I needed. He picked 5 sets of 400's, varied drills or intervals and we flew through them. In an out of habit move, I plunked my gear at the shallow end of the pool.
Saturday I was up in Illinois, this was a run in the late morning up to the school road then over the hill and back. As usual, there was a steady wind, this one out of the south. So I froze the right side of my face on the outbound, tailwinded then headwinded, then the left side of my face received the attention. It wasn't cold, to be honest, but a strong and steady wind that doesn't let up does hurt after awhile. The surprise here? I ran with my phones music to my 2013 soundtrack. I haven't run with music since I started running in 2004 or 2005. Did I like it? I could go either way, but it kept my mind from wandering and I liked that.
Sunday was just to round up to my goal distance of 25 miles. Up to the yellow house road and back in a few minutes. Barely broke a sweat.
NUMERICS total of 6hrs and 48 mins (as usual doesn't count my bike commute time)
SWIM 3950 y in just under 2hrs
BIKE 17.5 mi indoors in 1 hour
RUN 25.1 miles in 4hrs 8 mins
Next up: look at how to schedule running this month, and think of a winter swim goal?
