UK Election / Swimming

Was up late Thursday watching live returns for UK hung Parliament.

Hot spell - so pool warm enough now.

Pool Party

Neighborhood pool now open for summer. Another sunny day.

Swimming and Climbing Wall

Went out to Cinco Ranch LTF where the outdoor pool is way better. Climbing wall challenging as always - but this one is spacious and only 2 stories instead of the narrow 3 story one at City Centre.

Swimming

Swimming

Swimming to help recover from all the effort helping with moving last few days.

October Storms

4" rain in 24 hours. No running today due to race yesterday. Meant to do yard work but had to cancel due to weather. Gym: UB wo and swimming.

Kenyan Way

7 miles. Including 2x 10 minutes of Hills. Tried to keep it mellow with Practice for the Tour cross country race tomorrow. Also went swimming after dinner.

Climbing Wall

Some swimming followed by frying arms on climbing wall.

Practise for the Tour

5.5 miles. 2.8 mile race. 20:45. Wow. Felt great. Warm-up was a bit tough. Cool weather after front passed through. Soft underfoot. Tried to keep it under control at start. Started moving through field. Interestingly breathing OK and feeling strong. Passed a guy who always beats me and decided to keep pushing until breathing became an issue. Easy on uphill and pushing on flat. Made an effort to stick to the flags and running with others quite a bit and then able to pass. Such a short distance knew had to keep going for it. So breathing a little bad towards end - but legs held up fine. Training, rest, eating and drinking right and who knows what else allowed 8 min mile pace for majority of race on hills and soft ground and bad footing. Wow. Very happy. Got 28th place. See how rest of race series goes. This was after training normally yesterday.

Went swimming after the presidential debates - whole body now wrecked.

Terry Hershey Trail

8.5 mile long run. The now infamous morning long run. Great weather. Cool. Shaded. Slow. Painful. Walking at end. So beat up after being sick for so long. Even though a long run - didn't push it so can train all week. Swimming in evening. Yeah! Now training twice a day.
