am barton springs swim...on the schedule was 2,200 meters/yards...building speed during the up portion of a ladder 600, 400, 200, 400, 600...back down to 80% at the end...got to the pool ~6and it has been taking me a really long time to get my wetsuit on lately...i think it is a combination of me being freaked out that i am going to tear it and the fact that i am sweating before i even get the thing out of the car...so i was in the pool at like 6.20...seriously i know it is a really long time...
not too many folks out there in the early monday...which i like...the swimming generally went really well...i really enjoy swimming out there in the springs...got a little wetsuit chafe on the neck but that was my own fault (forgot the body glide)...the swim made me happy...
home to clean the house...rest and read...started reading the man who ate everything...it's pretty funny...i like his writing style...
afternoon workout was core/specialty run...this was our last meet up at barton springs (we alternate months) and we did a fartleck on the trail...ironman group did the five mile loop...doing 1 minute fast 1m recovery, 2m fast, 1 recovery up to 5 minutes fast then back down again...ran on the south side of the trail and i got all the way around to the mopac bridge and across it...to complete the set...then went back up the ladder until i reached the foot bridge near the barton springs trail....gave myself a minute walk break and then jogged it back in...i cannot even tell you how hot it was out there...i carried gatorade out on the run but it was so hot that i couldn't deal with it...my fast portions became just fast relative to the recovery portion...i was feeling the heat...these past two runs i have been really feeling it...i need to drink more water...and am bored with it right now...nuun is totally unappealing (i'm sick of it :() so i am trying to get in as much as i can...but it obviously needs to be more...
made the nicoise salad from the latest issue of fine cooking for dinner...it was really good...the grilled potatoes were amazing...of course i love potatoes so it was kind of a given that i would like these...tasty
