This was a pretty good workout. Hadn't run repeats since middle of June. Could tell!! Going to try and include some track work each week.

Side note: Ahhh youth. There was this college girl running at the track today. She's up there every day. Talk about a hard workout. She was really hitting it. At one point she did a run for about 15 to 20 minutes at the pace I was doing my 400's. Sheesh!! My wife talked to her the other day and she runs 12 miles of workouts every day. So translated to a month about 280 miles (assuming 1 rest day).

Wife and I did an easy ride this morning.  Wasn't hard enough to count for training, but a good time with her and also some time on the bike.

Good run with Mike. He's a little faster than me. It was good to be pushed a little :-) I haven't run with anyone else for a long time; probably need to do that more often. This was actually my fastest run for a 5k training run. It was great running in the rain!! Whew, so much better then the temp of 103 yesterday :-)

Swim
  • 21m
  • 1000.00 yards
  • 02m 06s /100 yards

Strong swim today. Felt really good. The temp dropped dramatically last night. Think it was 68 when we swam....water temp about 85.

Doing a swim/run workout over lunch.  Doing a 20 minute swim and a 3-mile run.  An unusual combination; but, that's what will work today.  Meeting a friend at the pool who's getting interested in triathlons....he's one of the guys who will pass me very quickly!  I hope to help him get there soon.
