Monday - May 5

Did you know that Nenah Cherry, former 80's one-hit-wonder (Buffalo Stance) is the step-sister of 90's one-hit-wonder Eagle-Eye Cherry (Save Tonight)? These are the kinds of things you learn while watching "Pop-up Video" on VH1 on Jet Blue for 3 hours. Back from vaca. I have a sunburn, and I don't even mind that much. It was sooo nice to be out in the sunshine for a change.

Sunday - May 4

Run

42m
4.50 miles
09m 20s /Mi

Longer run. HR was pretty high at first but calmed down. HOT! And didn't bring my fuel belt again, begging the question, "why'd you bring it in the first place?"

Swim

20m
1250.00 yards
01m 36s /100 yards

Another OWS-- a little further this time. Waves, and conditions were much better than the day before.

Saturday - May 3

Run

34m
3.50 miles
09m 43s /Mi

Some slow warmup jogging, followed by some normal pace stuff, followed by some stride ladders. No pain in either the knee or the achilles.

Swim

10m
600.00 yards
01m 40s /100 yards

OWS in the oceans. Waves were big and currents were a little rip-tidey for my tastes, so, since I was swimming by myself, I stopped after 600y or so. I was quite a ways further out to sea than I had been when I started.

Sport

Physical Therapy
1h 40m

Sorry... I'm fine. Busy as hell at work, and getting home late, and trying to get more sleep, so not as much BT. Missed you guy. I'm off to Florida w/the fam tomorrow, to get some sun and R&R. The good news is, I got discharged from Physical Therapy today. The other day, I kinda noticed that my knee was fine. Funny how that happens. Achilles is still a little tender, but my PT thinks it's cause I need to replace my shoes, which I now have. Guess what color they are? :) B: grapenuts, skim L: soba noodle soup S: clif bar D: ww pasta w/tomatoes, banana cake
