Becasue I was doing an open water swim this afternoon, I got to sleep in this morning. Except, at 6:30 my eyes popped open. Oh well, I guess I did get an extra hour's sleep...
My swim was pretty difficult, but I got it done.
Tomorrow I'm back at the run. Looking forward to getting back at it after the race this past weekend. Ds1 and I will be racing a 5K on Saturday.

Ohhh!!!! I love those runs!!! When I run in the rain, I always leave a towel on the porch so I don't drip water all through the house.

I had a bit of a scare on Tuesday evening. My training schedule called for a 15 minute run, but I decided to do my speed work (5 x 440 at 2:52-2:55 pace) instead, since my friend/mentor was going to be doing his speed work then. I had walked 1 lap before he arrived, then another one with him. We stretched out mildly, then began our run. About 2/3 of the way through, my neck started pounding - just like I was getting one of my really bad tension headaches! I finished the lap, then walked another one to see if it would calm down, but it didn't. I immediately decided to call it quits, although I stayed around to time my friend on a couple of his 880 runs. While timing John, I put ice on the back of my neck and my forehead and the throbbing eased. That was the weirdest thing that has happened to me since I began running last year. I've been out in the heat and humidity before, but nothing like this had ever occured. And I certainly hope that it's the last time.
Tonight, provided there's no a thunderstorm in the area, I'll do my 15 minute run.
Duane

I've had the same thing happen from heat, Duane. And the top whole top of my head throbbed. I did the same as you--put a cold pack on it. It's happened at least twice this summer and you're right...it's fuh-reaky!

Duane--careful out there!
Kristen--cute dog! Can't tell by the size, but is taht a cocker mix or a neuf mix? Or did I totally miss?
I'm still working out. Did a swim/bike yesterday. Today was a bike/run. I'm having a blast!
Had a bit of a scare with ds1 yesterday. He's the one who races with me. He had been lounging on the couch watching TV. We called him to dinner. When he got to the kitchen he fainted and fell into the counter where luckily I caught him. He never went totally out and recovered quickly. But it did give us a scare! I'm assuming it was because his HR/BP are low and he just got up too quickly.
Ds1 and I will be racing a 5K on Saturday.

Kristen--sorry! But I did see the cocker! But, uh, yah, she needs a haircut! My first dog was a cocker. We used to keep the show cut. Until the kids came along. Then, in the summer I'd shave her down except for her ears. She LOVED the water so it was easier to have her shaved! In the winter, I'd keep her face shaved and let the rest grow. She LOVED the snow so she needed a good coat.
I had an easy run this morning. One of my slowest in a very long time. 9:33 pace. Yikes! But, I was focusing in keeping my heart rate down. Although tomorrow's race is only for fun, I do want to go in with as much in the tank as possible. Son is gonna whip my butt, though...

I can't wait for Fall... 
I've been trying to obfuscate and block all the running sites on our home connection, then you go ahead and link them for her?? Why do you hate me? 
I'm merely being a submissive, supportive wife and holding him to it.
