Wednesday and Thursday

Ran a 5k treadmill fun run on Wednesday morning. Nothing fun about, come to think, but whatever. 3.1 miles, 21:03, already erased the heart rate stuff, but it was high for me (~162, I think). Pace puts me at 6:47 min/mile. I want to run the 5k in under 20, that is a 6:27 pace, my fastest mile time in the last 5 years is right around that,...so, it is a high goal, possibly unattainable. It seems almost unbelievable, as I struggle to run a sub 20 minute 5k, that I once ran an 18:10. Amazing what age and inactivity do. Oh yeah, then I lifted upper bod; chest, back, shoulders, and arms.

Thursday afternoon I went for a ride, 10 miles, 34:27, again it was windy, but a little less so. I averaged 17 mph compared to 16 on Tuesday. When it is not windy I can average 20-21 mph. I wanted to average 22 mph for the triathlon, again, that is very ambitious. As the challange draws closer I find myself pondering adjusting my sights a little bit lower. We shall see. Thursday night I swam, short swim this time owing to the fact that I got a late start. You see, we had our first head wound emergency trip last night. You guessed it, ...Elly! Are you kidding me. Christy and I both thought it would be evil knievel, I mean Jonas, we took there first. Elly bonked her head on the baseboard, it was deep but really clean so they were able to just glue her up. Hopefully it won't be a horrible scar, she is so pretty. Anyway, gotta run, literally. OUt
