Swim
  • 34m 23s
  • 1760.00 yards
  • 01m 57s /100 yards

OWS at Lake Pflugerville
One of my friends is doing IMTX and is freaking out now since it won't be wetsuit legal. I went to the lake and swam across and back with her sans wetsuit so she would feel more comfortable. It's roughly a mile to swim across and back, so I put 1760 yards. Still not sure I swam that fast, but I'll take it. The water was very smooth going out with the wind behind us. It was a little choppier coming back.

Out: 16:59
Back: 18:24

I'm glad I did this. Didn't have any problem with the distance or getting tired, but the water was cold getting in. I almost put my wetsuit on but decided I have to get use to it, so I just got in. It was cold at first but actually felt really good while swimming. As soon as I stopped I was freezing again.

Run
  • 45m
  • 4.65 miles
  • 09m 40s /Mi

Nice run around the lake. Started off with another friend who is signed up for IMAZ with us and she dropped off about 1.5 miles in. Felt nice to run later in the evening when it was cooler. Noticed my HR was a little higher. Not sure why since the run actually felt easy.

Went to Dalton's soccer game after work and then headed to the church for a new Bible study based on the book "How to have a Mary heart in a Martha world". We talked about slowing down. Kind of ironic because I was leaving there to go to the pool for a swim. Mother nature had other plans. It was lightening and I found out the pool was closed. Headed home and hit the treadmill for an easy run.

Had to be at the convention center at 8 and tried to do the cheap option by taking the metro so we left early. Good thing we did as there was construction and we had to get off and continue on the bus. Was at the convention center until 2:30. Madison cleaned up, we ate and then went to an Astros game with some of the girls.

Weights were done with the dumbbell set I have at work. Had to drive to Houston after work for the last volleyball tournament. Did the ab routine in the room. My 16 year old daughter decided to do abs with me. She's hurting. :)
