Biked an easy 10 on the trainer.  My wife is sick so I had to cut it short and help get the kids ready.

Ran an easy 35 min in the evening since I have not been able to workout in the morning.  It felt great to get out and burn some calories and enjoy the peaceful evening.

Had to do another evening workout and it did not go so well.  Walked home after a 25 min run.  Too soon after dinner.  Walking is not all bad.

Ran 5.5 miles in the morning.  I had to get to work a little earlier so I had to cut my 10k run short.  8 min miles.

Got off work an hour early and the sun was shining so I took a spin on my bike around V. Cope's place.  35 min.  I flet good and still tried to have good pedaling form.  I got done and was pretty strong still.  In wrestling, my coach use to tell me if I could raise my arms after practice, I did not work hard enough.  I don't think I have to follow that now that I am training for old age.

Four weeks until a pool tri.  It is a 300 m swim, 10 bike and 5k run.  They call it a sprint and it basically is a sprint going that short.  I need to make sure I am use to going that fast.

Did my second straight day of two a days.  I did a speed workout in the morning.  I went down to the high school track and ran 3 by 800m.  My splits were 3:05, 3:08, 2:58.  Any time you can break a 6 min anything, you like that.  I did not push real hard.  With a warm up, recovery laps and cool down, I was at 35 min.

In the afternoon I got my only swim workout in for the week.  Mornings have been too hectic to get a way this week.  I was going to swim a mile, but my times started to tank after a 800 so I broke it up and worked on form and speed.  I swam the 800 in 16:15.  I am not sure what I did to swim a minute faster.  Swimming is like catching moon beams . . . there some days and not others.  I did a 200 with the pull boay, 200 with fist gloves, 300 timed, 200 fins and drills.
