Was supposed to run for 60 minutes but I just weren't feelin' it and I figure it can't hurt to take it a little easy on the running in the beginning anyway considering my limited "base".

(supposed to only be 200 but I did an extra 100 so I could get 30 laps for my..... crap, I just realized I did 40 laps! My workout was only going to 1900 (38 laps) so I did an extra 2 to make it a round number. The Y is doing this "Y to Y swim challenge" where you swim from one Y to another and get a prize, then from another Y to another Y you get another prize, etc. I was thinking I was only going to get 28 laps so I shot for 30 (and got credit for 30) but completely scrooged up my math and actually did 40! D'oh!

Ran late, ran easy, didn't walk at all which is a bit of a milestone for me for this kind of distance (heh, two and a half miles has become "this kind of distance"). It's because I did it on the treadmill so I was forced to keep my pace in check. Watched "What Would You Do?" where they marginalized people who disagree with same-sex marriage. Funny how that's okay, but it doesn't work in the other direction (not that I think marginalizing anyone is okay, just making a point).

toootally uneven pacing, due to the fact that we had 4 swimmers in the lane for most of the workout. It was just me and a lady for the first 500 and sometime in the next 500 these two chuckleheads just hopped in without warning anybody. I guess they just figured that the two great big signs at either end of the ONE available lap lane weren't written for them (the ones that say be courteous, the swimmers already in the lane have the right of way, let them know you're there, you know, that boring stuff). We made do even though one of them was an awful swimmer. The other wasn't bad but didn't have the endurance to go farther than 50 yards without a break at the wall. As a sign of comraderie I gave them both "knucks" as I exited, to show there weren't any hard feelings even though I swam up on them and passed them about a dozen times.

Spin on the trainer after the run. Watched a show I recorded off public TV that was talking about how Pluto shouldn't be considered a planet. Kind of interesting but I just couldn't make the legs do what they didn't want to do.

Not my most impressive run, and certainly nothing I'm going to go around bragging about, but I'll take it. Ran on Millie in the office because we have like a foot of snow on the ground. I ended up going shirtless, with the lights off, and the window wide open, and still boiled. Need to consider getting a fan to put on the shelf that's next to the TM. All in all I'd say I did well. Wanted to go long and slow, and that's what I did. Watched one of the Rev3 triathlons I had recorded, as well as the Ironman Coeur D'Alene. Our TM has a neat little book holder thing above the readout so I put my little 9-inch Netbook there and it functioned as my personal TV screen for the run :)
