Run, Forrest, Run

Wednesday was a swim day.  It seems like we always swim when it rains (or ir always rains when we swim).  Neither Emily nor I were very motivated to swim a lot, but we managed to do a decent workout.  We started out with 4 laps kicking, then 4 laps in a light swim.  We then did 10 laps in a row (the triathalon is only 8 laps, so we went a little higher).  10 minutes of treading water and 8 more laps.  We finished with 4 more laps with a kickboard and called it a night.   Not a bad workout and at least we did something!

Today was a run day.  I actually had a great run.  Did a 3 minute warm-up, then ran for 32 minutes straight.  I ran at a 6.2 for most of the run and did 2 'sprints' in the middle.  One was at a 6.5 for 2 minutes, the other at a 7.0 for the last minute.  Finished with a 3 minute cool down.  Final Stats: 38 minutes, 3.61 miles, 476 calories.

DC for the weekend, hopefully lots of walking and not too bad on the food intake...
