today - i was that person...

i can sometimes be heard to say - who is that asshole that waits until the hottest hours of the day and midday traffic to go for a bike ride?  well today that asshole was me...  i got a slow start - as referenced earlier...  and then i went to the post office and that was closed.. and then i needed gas... it took forever to get to the greenway... and given the time i was going to ride on the greenway EXCEPT the parking lot was pretty full and I suspected the trail would be the same... so off on the road I went
I gave myself some breathing room - if you dont want to go too far because of the heat and the traffic...  but I pushed myself even more so than usual in some areas and really had a good ride
AND I made a left turn onto Rea from Tom Short went through on Shrewsbury and over Marvin School over to New Town back to Marvin Road...  this added just 2 miles to my loop but a good addition none the less...
I am looking forward to trying it all again tomorrow.
For the run - oh the run - there was no run...
And the swim - I did 20 minutes of consecutive swimming - for me that is great - usually there are breaks... it covered 870 yards or 10 sets of 4...  And when I think back of other training - usually I had stopped at 600 yards for a continuous swim
SO AN OVERALL ATTA GIRL (wow havent used that phrase in a while) for the day...
had a burger with cheddar cheese and some cole slaw for dinner ...
had a 3.6oz 130 calorie serving of haagen dazs - thankfully that was enough to hit the spot...
gonna do it all over again tomorrow
