9AM-Felt like a pile of poop today. The back of my neck on the right side is kinda stiff.. not sure if I slept wrong or what. Haven't been in the pool for a few days so I can't really blame it on overuse. Hm. 5PM-This is what swimming workouts start to look like when all you're doing is adding distance and you don't know of any drills or anything else to occupy your time with! You get goofy stuff like 2 laps, 3 laps, 4 laps, 6 laps, etc. I'm not even really concentrating on form or anything. Though I am occasionally practicing my bi-lateral breathing, which for the most part I think I'm okay with. My right side is still definitely my dominant side, but I CAN breathe from my left.

Hopped on the trainer during the first half hour of Heroes. Kinda loud when you're not on the concrete floor of the basement! It has that wood sub-floor on which to vibrate... Lesson learned tonight: A fan is an absolute must on the trainer. Plain and simple.

Those are my splits for the 5-K today. Not too shabby if I do say so myself! Definitely a breath of fresh air after the stinky performance at the marathon.. sheesh! This lady started talking to me after mile 1 and in the midst of our conversation our pace slowed a little bit. After the 2nd mile marker we vowed to pick up the pace and 4 min. into it she was suckin wind hardcore as I was about to take it up another notch! She motioned me ahead and I hammered it home. My very first official 5-K.
