Run, Swim, Bike, Run

Monday: Ran 4 miles

Tuesday: Swam 1,000 (feet? yards? what?!) I did 5 LAPS (25'=1 length) x 3= 15 lengths, or 30 (10 laps x 3) x 25' = 750'. Plus 50' warm up and 50' cool down. So that = 850'. So I had to do another 150' to make it an even 1000'. Except that I can't do math, so someone please point out the horrific math error I am making.

I didn't crash into anyone. The sky was overcast, rain falling softly, pool mostly empty at 5:45 a.m.

Wednesday morn: Up early, rode bike to work while the sun rose. I had to keep stopping and looking at my directions since I'm taking back roads so that I don't get killed. Two other bikers opened the door for me at work, so I made my entrance to applause. That was nice. (The applause didn't last though.) I carried my work clothes all rolled up in a ball in my backpack. (It's the grunge look.) It only took me one week to ride my bike back to work. (You'll be happy to hear that I am taking the bus home tonight because it is too dark to ride, E.)

Wednesday night: First hill workout in months. One mile warm-up, 2x .25 mile hill, one mile cool-down. My iPod stopped right in the middle of the first hill. It's a cruel, cruel world.

So my week so far? I would sum up thusly:

I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR

Stay tuned for:
Thursday: Spinning class!
Friday: More swim!
Saturday: Long run!
