delightful swim + sunny run

nothing beats the feeling of a great swim.

[unfortunantly, that feeling has a cost: dragging ass out of bed at o'dark o'clock and leaving a warm bed for a cold pool.]

yesterday morning I had an amazing swim [after the not-so-amazing feeling of getting out of bed]:
2800.00 meters in 1h 00m //28s 02m 10s /100 meters
400 wu
ms:
3 x 200
8 x 25 kick
4 x 100
8 x 25 kick
5 x 50
100 easy
6 x 75 pull
200 cd

I love having a training program to follow -- it saves me from having to one of the four swim workouts I usually do.

this afternoon's run:
5.19 miles in 45m 08s // 08m 42s/Mi

good news: glorious weather - low 60s, sunny, blue skies.
better news: little to no foot pain !

tomorrow I will ride Columbia. I was going to ride it today but it was really windy --- and I haven't been outside on my bike since September. hilly course + wind + nervous rider = bad idea.

*trust the training, trust the plan*
