what have i been up to

Well I tried to get close to swimming a mile. I ended up doing 1400 yards last week. That work out felt good. I didn't attempt it this week. I have been trying to focus on the run instead.
So I did some more treadmill work last week as well. 4 miles with a walk run combo. I have to say those first few minutes on the treadmill I swear I have to go to the bathroom. I guess it is some sort of race anxiety. But I did the 4 miles and some stretches. I need to remember to stretch my arms out. They are getting tight with the swimming.
Friday I did NOTHING
I went out with friends after work
Saturday I got my hair cut and test drove a Jetta
Sunday I ot back to the running. I did 4 miles at the park. Even managed to run 2 quarter miles in the mix. It felt good.
Monday I swam. We timed my 400 to submit to the race people. That will get me a start time for the Splash + Dash.
Then she gave me some running to do. 30 minutes of stuff. Tuesday I think is still my day of rest. The problem being Friday and Saturday I did nothing. So I decided I needed to do something. So I did a 22 minute walk run loop around the neighborhood. It was brutally hot out there. And it even 9:30 at night. But brutal all the same
Finally today I did 700 yards of swimming and 17 minutes of walk run. 1 min walk. 1 min run
It felt good
I am sure in this time I have had humourous observations. I just haven't gotten to the keyboard to share them. Now those are pretty much forgotten.
On to the next set.
