happy run/ smooth swim/ fast bike

my past three training sessions have been amazing.

I think it's the weather... it's been mid 70s, sunny, and clear all week (unheard of in swampy Maryland).


run
last night I headed out for a 45-50 min run. all of baltimore, it seemed, was running (I don't know where these people are when it's 95* and humid or 30* and windy, but I digress). I met a bangel cat (beautiful animals) that lives with her owners on a boat. they live in texas but cruise all over and stay in each city for a couple months. the cat can swim ! also met two westies. people actually smiled/ waved back when I smiled/ waved. just a lovely happy run.

swim
this morning I dragged myself out of bed at 5:50 to swim. it was cold and it was dark and the warm comforter called to me.. but I ignored her siren call. when I got to the pool there was only one other person there. shocking, I know, since it was 55* this morning. swam a 200 and 8 x 50 for my warmup, a 1000 TT (19:23), and a 200 warm down. the air was chilly but the water was warm and I love seeing the sky turn a beautiful pink just before the sun comes up.

bike
tonight I met up with two people from bt.com and one other guy (who really should just join) to ride the Columbia course. more amazing weather and an amazing course. saw the sun set over the fields in Tridelphia. saw horses, sheep, and a donkey. good conversation with delightful training buddies. fastest avg on that course for me .. ever.
