2-9-08 Saturday

Me and Steph ran @ Cooper Creek Park in Columbus today - fun run. I love the trails.

4.54 miles @ 43:12 - - avg speed was 6.3 mph.

Would enjoy running there again

2-8-08 Friday

Ran with Steph at the dam - 4.00 miles @ 39:52. 6.0 mph. That's a 9:58/mile pace. I feel like if we hold a 10 minute pace, or better, that we're doing pretty good. I need to sit down and do a distance sheet to start base building for my tri-training.

Didn't get to swim tonight - work related.

2-5-08 Tuesday

Long swim - 50 laps with no breaks. I did have to tread water a few times to adjust my goggles and dump water from them. Also the water was much cooler at the Sportsplex than usual. They didn't have the air temp so high either - probably related, but it made the first 5 or 6 laps pretty brisk. I also did push ups, dips and sit ups afterwards.

Ran with Steph today. It was too pretty of a day to let it go to waste. I was supposed to swim, but decided to run w/ Steph on the Rails2Trails route. We did 4 miles. First 2 we did in a little over 20 minutes. I set the Virtual Training Partner on my GPS for the run back - I set if for 10 minute miles, and told Steph we'd have to maintain 6 mph to get the time. She must have been feeling pretty good, because I kept having to slow her down - I kept seeing 7-7.3 mph on the GPS. We finished the 2 miles with 2:38 left on the clock - It was a great run.

We even ran into a workmate of mine on the trail. I've since found out he's a pretty regular runner, too.

I'll swim on Tues.

4 miles @ 41:50
ran with Steph in downtown West Point. Ran in my new Asics Kayano's. I like them better than the Saucony's. I think I'll keep these.

My knee bothered me a little around mile 3, but it eased up later in the run, and I iced it after the run. Still taking the Etolodac.
