ok seriously, only 9 days here where i don't really have a legit excuse for taking the day off.. lol and chances are, i swam my butt off on these days, so these are actually cross training days, not days off! hehe.....

anyway, august 8 was a great day.. 2.4k in the pool, which was sluggish as i was still recovering from my mega run on thursday. then i got my second wind and ran pretty much all evening. 33.2k in total, mostly on trails around ponds.. amazing how strong i felt tonight. that running didn't even start til 3.48 pm so i have all morning and most of the afternoon tomorrow to run 9k and i can count my 3rd training marathon of the month!
