swim=blah, run=good

The swim this morning didn't feel to great. The water was 85+, so that didn't help either. The main set was 2x (5x200). I am not sure how, but I descended both sets with the last one being the fastest.

After work, I quickly took the dogs out for another short run with a few pick ups. I felt good. The dogs the command ready/go. They bark and laugh at my so called sprint.

Still cold in the AM

I pushed my easy run to the afternoon. I knew the dogs wanted to run and I think 24 is a little too cold for them. I felt good. The dogs were chasing each other. Fina kept hammering Kona. Finally Kona sprinted by with Fina chasing to no avail.

I had a nice easy spin on the bike. The rain will be back. At least it's warming up. =)

Easy morning

I swam an easy 2k this morning. My body is still not fully recovered from the weekend. I should be good to go with in the next day or two.

2011

I am starting the year off a little under the weather. I took today off. It has been almost 40 days since my last day off.

2010 was good. 2011 will be great!!! I am ready to kick off the season beginning tomorrow. I have big goals this year.

The last week of the year

2010 is winding down with only a few days left. The off season is going well. I am almost back to my fitness level from April/May. The dogs are happy to be running more frequently. I think I have some of the fastest tri-dogs around. Here is a picture of tired dogs after running.

I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for me!!!

ICE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Have you ever got up to go for a run in the wee hours of the morning? I decided to take the dogs out for a run at 5:30AM. It was mostly cloudy with a few stars here and there. After 45 minutes, I noticed there were more stars and less clouds. I figured no big deal. That is until I almost fell on my face. The temperature dropped and iced up the roads. I changed up my stride for the rest of the run. I slipped several more times, but never too bad to bite it. I have never run with the temperature cooling during the early part of the day.

During the week I swam, biked, and ran a little more than last week.

Rain and wind

What a crazy night/morning!!! The winds were howling and the rain wouldn't let up.

I decided to head out for a run with the dogs. I'm glad I took my floaties and flippers. There were several small ponds formed from all of the rain. The dogs had so much fun. Every time they came near a giant puddle, they attacked each other to claim ownership of the puddle. It was hilarious.

I swam, biked, and ran a little over the last 2 weeks. The See-food diet is going well. Whatever food I "See" I eat.
