swim
great Big Hill Pool 1000 m 00:28 45:06 pace
Felt great in the water. Even better when I bought my Seniors pass (55+) at $195.00 verses the Adult pass (18-54) at $315. Sweet.

On the side of a building I'm guessing?

Those things are really weird. On the bridge as well. Not my choice for great street art. I would rather see some commissioned graffiti.

It makes me feel like I'm suffocating. Not good when you're running.

Fourth run with the new shoes and I'm feeling much more comfortable. The slow build up has worked well.

All the lanes were full when I arrived so I went for a hot tub. Unfortunately, someone got out and I had to do my swim session.

Up to 10km with the Brooks Pure Connects. I feel my gait has changed somewhat and I'm working with the shoe. Plan to do a longer run on Tuesday.

RUN
great The Treadmill 5 km 00:31 10:05 pace
Ran 5km in my new Brooks Pure Connect. Excellent fitting with lots of room in the toe box. Tomorrow I'll try 10km on the road.

I've got both the blue/green and white/orange Pure Cadence and love them. I did take too big a bite and hurt my heel at first (I'm a pronator and they don't have the support I'm used to). Ran 20 miles in them. I'm almost to the point where they're my go-to shoes. In the meantime, I switch between them and my Ariels.

Having success with my PureFlows. In spite of their "anatomical" last, though, I look forward to them coming in widths.

RUN
good Calgary Pathways 10 km 00:52 08:20 pace
I hooked up with a running buddy, Jamie, and his friend Ruban. They are young and fast and they pushed me to a little quicker 10km than I had planned. It felt good.

I paid the price for three games of hockey. Note to self: going out once a year is not enough.
