Thanks to Jason I don't have to type up the swim workout, just take the 500 off the warm-up and there you go. The swim was good practice for open water with all the bouncing around. It was like swimming at East Providence, only with more waves. Good thing workout involved lots of 25's to keep things under control.
Run...
The run was good. It was fantastic to be out in Boston and be able to see where you're running to on a nice clear day. It sure beats the loops around my neighborhood where you'll probably never see much more than a few hundred yards ahead of you and you'll be sharing the road with all the MA/RI drivers in the area. In other words, you're better off on the treadmill for safety. The run felt good. Nice aerobic pace, covered a good distance without pain and just worked on the endurance run. Running around the Charles is a great loop and I'm looking forward to doing it again. One thing I'm very glad about is being dressed appropriately for the weather. Hat, gloves, long pants, Under Armour shirt, dry fit shirt and Pearl Izumi jacket. Some may think I was over dressed but I drove by the Charles on my way to the pool and it was a big sheet of ice. There's no way wind coming off that was going to feel good. Luckily I was prepared, tomorrow would have called for the shorts and two shirts but not today.
After the run was also productive as I got to hit New Balance and get some new sneaks. Another set for training and one for racing. The racing ones will be a little lower (according to the guy in New Balance who seemed to know what he was talking about) but offer the same stability as the 857's I'm running in now. He said it was the lighter version. So for an extra $35 I'm getting less sneaker!
Until tomorrow, rest hard!
