Wednesday I left work early so I could make it home to run with a dog from the Seattle Animal shelter (Part of their Fit with Fido program) but traffic was of course worse than normal, and I didn't make it home till 6. And I should have been there dressed and ready to run at 6... sigh. So I instead took Boomer on a short run, and explained to him that he is spoiled and lucky and should be grateful that he's not in the shelter in a pen all day.
Then went to swimming. (look at me go, two workouts in one day!). Last week at our swimming practice our lane (2nd slowest lane) finished our workout like 15 minutes early. Thus we decided we are speedy, and moved up to the medium lanes workout. Well, the week we picked to move up, was also the week the workouts looked a lot harder. Anyways, we did all but about 150 yards of the workout. I think we all did well!
And more impressively, we swam exactly the race distance (.9 miles!). And given that our workout included many slow drills (kick on your side 6x25? blah I hate kicking!), and we finished it in an hour, that is exciting! Last year I don't think I swam the full race distance till a few weeks before the race.
So overall my training is going well. However if you glance below at my miles logged - you'd notice that I've ran 10 more miles than I've biked. aka, I really really need to bike more.
And one final note - I've added links to a few of my team mates blogs on the right. So check them out if you want more reading.
