A late start, so not as long as I wanted. However, that's probably better. Until I get some bike distance/endurance built back up, I can focus on higher-intensity sessions.

Once around Russell Creek. Pace was pretty good, but I was disappointed to get fatigued before I finished. This was a relatively short run, and although warmer (low-80s), my lack of recent consistency/distance is really starting to show.

Around Russell Creek, but bumped into Greg and ran with him for a bit. HR was elevated (from blood donation still?), so not my best effort. Still, glad I got out and ran.

Was supposed to be a 3800m day, but I was beat. (I did give blood yesterday. Yeah, that's it. Uh-huh.) However, when I found my form breaking down, I call it quits.

I did, however, take a minute to study what I was doing and realized that I was letting my wrist break at the end of the catch, making the pull easier, but reducing the effectiveness. I still had the sense of "pushing" at the wrist, but I was letting water slide under my hand rather than making it a good paddle.
