Run

20m 58s
3.11 miles
06m 44s /Mi

Holy moly, I keep shocking myself!

RR finished.

My husband thinks a reasonable goal for me would be to work up to a sub-20 minute 5K. But then I thought, instead of wanting to get faster, I think I'd rather work my way up to running 10K's. Gee, is that my first inkling of wanting to do an OLY someday? Probably. But I don't have serious goals for that until I get a better bike... And until I can maintain a decent bike pace for a sprint tri. Anyway, I thought I'd put that out there in BT-land - Kam31's very first contemplation of working her way up to an OLY!! ;)

Swim

1h 25m
3608.92 yards
02m 21s /100 yards

Int/Adv. workout tonight.
Last one to finish, but hey, I did it! My arms felt like jello. This new weight training stuff is killing me... I missed the times on the Pull part of the workout by about 10 seconds each time. I made the times on most of the Sets, but by only about 5 or 6 seconds, if that (I don't always do a great job watching the time, though). I added about 10 - 15 seconds to my rest between sets.
Still a lot that I have to really concentrate on while swimming. It seems like it's at least as good of a mental workout as a physical one. Feel like I'm improving though.
