  1. RUN
    Sole 2 Soul Fun Run 3.64 mi

    Last run, before Ojai 2 Ocean. 0.32 mile warm up, 3 mile tempo, and a 0.32 mile cool down!

  2. RUN
    good Carter's Walk for Cured 6.2 mi 00:44 07:03 pace

    I was planning on an easier run, but my knee did not put up a fight, so I went with it.

  3. RUN
    good Sole to Soul 3rd Thursday Adv... 5 mi

    Great run tonight with Sole to Soul! Forgot my watch so I do not know how far a ran tonight so this is just a guess. My knee seemed to hold up pretty well tonight.

  4. RUN
    good 4 mi 00:32 07:57 pace

    Another easy run with Pamela, trying out the knee with taping and a little more speed. One or the other seemed to work, my knee did not do to bad tonight.

  5. swim
    alright In-Shape 1500 yd 00:36 42:02 pace

    10x100 free at about 1:50/100 with a 30 second rest; followed by 5x100 breast at about 2:18/100. My arms seem to be coming back to life!

      Well I say breast and free, but they are both just variations of a dog paddle.

      I am not sure if I want to get too involved in TRIs, but I do want to do an IM sometime!

      You gotta do what you gotta do to stay in shape. Gonna stay off the knee a bit or cross train with light running?

      Brian, I was doing a lot of swimming before November last year. I need to pick it up again! Not Running sure gets me more motivated to swim!
      Jen, about all I have done is longs swims and 100 repeats. 80% crawl and 20% breast. Once I get my arms back and some consistency at the pool, I will have to get some lessons and a program.

      The last miles of that run sounds like the last of Boston for me. By the end I was just hoping to finish. SD will be my 3rd in 10 weeks. But you're doing Ojai too??? Impressive. I hope you're icing a lot!

      Heather, I am not really trying, but yes. In 2010 I signed up for four, but only ran three.

      Brian, you know, the shirts kinda are! You likely saw these shirts at the Carlsbad 5000, Last year I ran LA, Eugene, and O2O, to earn my Marathon Maniac #5519!

      Glad you called me. Great to know you guys were ok. I ran so slow I barely made it across in time. I know you are being respectful & not posting your time , but I looked it up anyway. Very impressive. Nothing wrong being proud your time. Nice work. Again, I'm glad you're safe & maybe we'll meet up at another race.
