barton springs/trail running

up wicked early to hit barton springs by 5.30...i have come to like swimming there in the dark...got started on my swim which was 3600...800 then 3x600 then 2x400 and a 200 cool down...did the 800 one 600 then my goggles started to fill with water...did 400 of the next 600...still messed up...then back on a 200 to get out switch goggles and do 2x600 to finish...pesky new goggles...the ones that coach amy gave me like a million years ago are still the only ones that i trust...i have a feeling they are going all the way to IMAZ...

speaking of that little race...32 days...not that i am counting

long day of school with a test and some happy news that i got the last two chem homework questions done with 4 hours to spare...and didn't have to skip my workout to get it done! yeah!....my TA rocks...there are three she's the only one that is good :)...actually got out of lab at 4.45 instead of 5...it makes a huge difference in traffic getting to the run...

got there early!...and was able to study in the grass for a few minutes...then it was out on the trail for fartleck going up to 5 minutes hard then back down again with 1 minute rest in between...logan ran with me...so there was no slacking...5 minute at faster than 5k is tough...no joke...we finished the set about 1/4 mile from the trail that goes to barton springs...he said i want you to push it to the truck (where we all met)...i was beat...but i did it...pushed hard...then a little more leaving it all in that parking lot...felt great...

good day...finally a little relief in the stress from that home work...now i must study for the chem exam that is tonight...then maybe there will be a little rest...maybe...
