Night Swim and Outside Run

So on Wedneday night my friend and I decided to hit the pool. It was nice to get back in the pool, I hadn't been there in awhile. We both decided to see how fast we could do 1000M since that is how far we will need to swim in the Tri we both plan to do in July 2009. The first 500M I did really well 10 mins. The second not so well. I knew I shouldn't have eaten, granted it was 3 hours before, but my tummy just can't seem to handle it. I still was able to swim 1600 meters. The day before I ran 1.75 miles...on Sunday I ran 2.75 miles..they had no time limit on the machines.

Yesterday my friend and I decided to go for an outdoor run to gear up for the Fargo 5K this Saturday. We did 2.25 miles in 25 mins and I only walked 2 times..WOW for me. I'm so excited for tomorrow. I hope to finish the 5K between 35 and 36 minutes...my last 5K was 2 weeks ago and I did it in 37:26...so I'm off to break a record.

T Minus 11 hours to Race TIME!!!!

3 Good Workout Days

Yesterday I had a great early morning swim. I was able to pump out 1500 meters at 5:15am before heading off to work. Thanks to a friend who motivated me to get my rear out of bed and get to the gym. The day before that I was able to finally get back on the treadmill and run. I was able to easily do 2.18 miles and didn't feel it in my knee so that was AWESOME. Today I almost slept through my alarm but something woke me up that I realized I needed to get up and out the door for my a.m. run again. I did 2 miles today. Only 8 days until the Fargo 5K!
