6am Another fine spring morning. 50 degrees and sunny. It's nice running when it's light out in the morning now. Lots of trilium and wild geraniums blooming in the woods along the road.

50y breast
500y free 11:54. Bad foot cramps the last 150y. Kept swimming anyway. I know why though. I'm still a little dehydrated from hunting all morning. Couldn't quite catch up enough by swim time.
Cool down: 100y breast

I've been really concentrating on making sure I am extending my push all the way back. Thus my triceps are pooped!

Mid 50's and winds gusting 20-25 mph. Started off directly into the wind and thought I had lost every bit of fitness I ever had. Gosh it was hard. When I finally turned the corner, I realized that I could still ride a bike.

Brick run. 4 minute transition to change shoes, pee and drink. My legs felt so horrible the first mile that I was totally shocked when I clicked off that mile in 9:30 (my usual pace). By mile two, my legs felt much better, but I was feeling very fatigued. It's just early in the season and I need to build up some endurance. That should come in time.

Slept in a little today.  Snuggled with DH.   Boy I needed that!

Brick workout.  Hard.  I was whining in my head.

6am Back of farm route plus tacked on the end of the home 5k route.

Absolutely perfect morning for a run. We have been having a stretch of superb weather and I am just lovin' it! This morning was temps in the upper 40's and bright sunshine. Everything is so spring green and beautiful. Nice relaxed pace on the run and I feel great!

As usual, it's nice to get my workout done 1st thing in the morning.  :)  :)  :)

I've got to work on my inspires this weekend!  The last couple of days have just been so hectic.  Just enough time to update my blog and off I go again.  :)  :)  :)

Lunchtime run. Gorgeous day. I was getting antsy. I really NEEDED to run.

7am lap swim. Yes, it's a shocker. I made it to the pool.
Warm up: 100y breaststroke, 100y free.
500y free (2:13, 2:23, 2:19, 2:23, 2:22 = 11:40) Felt discumbobulated.
100y breast.
500y free (2:18, 2:21, 2:18, 2:19, 2:18 = 11:34) Felt MUCH better this set. Nice and relaxed and smooth.

500y free (2:17, 2:20, 2:21, 2:25, 2:24 = 11:47) Getting very tired and slooooooooower.
100y breast.
My arms are very tired now especially my triceps. That's what happens when one is a slug and doesn't swim for a couple weeks.

Tomorrow will most likely be a wash as far as a workout goes (unless I sneak something in at lunch).  So I did two workouts today!  :)
