Subject: 4.28.16 Rainy Day Thursday

Good morning BT!  Nonstop rain here for days...these cloudy, gloomy days are getting old!  I need blue skies and sun!

4:30am:  4.5 mile run

5:30am:  :40 minutes upper body strength + core

Long day ahead--usual teaching day plus a 2 hour open house at the school tonight. I think it's weird we're doing another one in the spring when we had a big one I fall.  Oh, well--someone with a bigger desk than mine gets to decide these things!

Lou--hope everything checked out just fine!

Wow--send rain here! There were a bunch of storm clouds on the horizon when I ran just before/after sunrise and some lightning last night; really thought we might get at least a quick thunderstorm but nothing transpired. It usually takes about a month of buildup to really get started. Everything weather-wise has been off ever since last year's rainy season started more than a month late, so who knows.

5:15 AM 1:05 of running with some short tempo pickups. Heat/humidity already so high that it might as well have dumped rain on me. My shoes were full of sweat and squishing but the time I finished!

4:50 PM 3200m of swimming. A real challenge as our pool closes at 6. Made it with 10 minutes to go. You can do the math. I had to really work to finish! Not a continuous swim; there were some rest intervals, just not much!

We also seem to have a lot of "special events". One next week and one, quite horribly, the day after my HIM. To get leave, I had to promise I would be back to attend it (and herd my kids to their performances) in the evening. I might be crawling on hands and knees while snacking non-stop (not sure if this happens to anyone else--I can never eat that much the night after a long race. But the next day I have to just keep munching all day or I start getting famished and light-headed.) but I will try. As my assistant said, it can't be any worse than attending such an event when very pregnant (which she has done twice, shuffling around in flip-flops with her ever-present box of crackers)!

No rain here but lots of wind!
5:15am - 60 min power spin - short but INTENSE intervals - holy moly I could feel that in my legs later!

9:30am - 6 mile hike.

Weather here has been GLORIOUS and my shoulder is still bothering me, so took the opportunity to be outside and skipped my swim and hiked instead. Awesome out and I felt good the whole time! The heat will be here soon enough so I'm enjoying every minute of this weather!

Rainy day down here too, but I love a good thunderstorm so it's all good.

30 minute strength training routine tonight.

I'm on the other side of the college-student desk. I'm the one with the red pen in my hand. Those of us with schedules that change from day to day actually have an advantage, I think.
