Treadmill run after work. To try it out, I wore the Vibram Fivefingers. They worked fine, though I do feel a few different muscles getting used. I was running with a slightly higher turnover rate while wearing them too.

Still snowing this morning, with more forecast through the day. It's supposed to start clearing again later though. YAY! :)

April 27

Run
  • 41m
  • 8.00 kms
  • 05m 09s /KM

Ran after work on the 200m indoor track. First km was the slowest by far at 5:31 as I warmed up. They generally quickened as I went, mostly under the average, through to the last & fastest km at 5:03.

Snowing hard again this morning! The radio said 10 to 15 cm tomorrow, with wind and blowing snow. This is ridiculous! On a brighter note, my legs were feeling yesterday's run and I was tired so last night I decided to sleep in today, and I actually slept until the alarm went off. :)

April 26

Run
  • 1h 24m
  • 15.20 kms
  • 05m 31s /KM

Morning run with the marathon club. A bit cool to start but it was warming up nicely through the run. The route went in & out of the river valley for some hill work. I must have cut some corners because my Garmin read a full km shorter than what the run was posted as.

Morning swim, 50m lanes. I didn't intend to start with IM. Started swimming fr, caught up to someone half way down the lane, and did breaststroke to stay behind them. So I continued with reversed IM order and did 1/2 back and half fly. I cut the posted warm up short by 200, but added 200 to the cool down.

200 fr swim
3x (3x100) kick, drill, swim (all fr)

Afternoon run. I stopped by the running store after swimming and bought a pair of Vibram Fivefingers Sprint "shoes", so I had to take them out for a test run. No problems so far. I like them.

Neil Young concert. I won tickets from a local radio station. :)
