well, i had a good time at the Ron Hynes concert last night, but that was a late night, so i slept in longer than usual today. finally left the house at 12.40 pm and ran over to the pool to catch the second half of the 2 hour swim. i made it a speed work out as i was full of energy. swam 2.75k in 52 minutes, then ran back home, fueled up, and set out for a series of long slow distance sets.. 8k, set, and 11k, set and an 8.5k set, each with 30 minute breaks in between. in all, i covered 33.5k running and 2.75k swimming in a total work out time of about 4 hr 18 min.
it was hot and somewhat humid today so i was really sweating. i don't think i have ever gone thru so much gatorade in a 33.5k run. but all went well. i could feel the wall hitting late, but i ran as hard and as fast as i could and managed to keep up almost as fast as when i started.
at the end of the day, i feel pretty good and speculate that i could do it all over again tomorrow if i had to.... in fact, i just might do that! hehe..
444k in may, the second highest total ever. only my insane august from last year was more, when i ran 10 marathon training runs in 17 days.
hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow, then 4-6 weeks of long slow endurance workouts in attempt to drop more weight, yet manage the knees.
