Saturday's workout
I had a nice 4.5 mile run this morning with my running group. It was supposed to be 5 but I was not sure of the route so I shorted myself a half mile. We were doing the route for a 8K on June 6th. I am slower than all but two in the group so us three slow pokes were not sure how the route was supposed to end.

Sunny 6.57 mile run for me. Just couldn't pull out my 10.5 today...
Improved pace though to 10:07...so as Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing...."

Every morning in Africa , a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

I did the St. Vincent's Geist Half Marathon today. It was a tough 13.1 miles for me this time. Not because of a lack of training but because of the heat and humidity and allergies. Just couldn't move any air through my nose. It caused me to mouth breathe and that put a lot of air into my pouch causing me abdominal distension and making it very hard to breath. I'll write a full report later.

2-hour swim clinic with a local college swim coach. He tried to cover his 8-week program in 2 hours for our 70.3 training group. Drill 25, Swim 25. Repeat. By the end of the 2 hours, he had advice for each of us to improve our technique.
Half marathon tomorrow, nice and slow.

I think I had the best workout day since surgery today, at least in terms of fun. Started at 7am with a 100 holes of golf charity event. Basically 18 holes of golf and we played 5 or 6 balls on each hole. Used to be, 18 holes of golf would utterly wipe me out.. but I got done around noon, and went to work in the garden for a few hours. Then I went over to the soccer fields with my son and his friends, planning to just kick the ball around a bit.. well, we ended up getting into a pickup game with some of the local Latino fellas (who are incredible soccer players), and 3 hours later we're all wiped out.
Just gets me that a year ago there would have been no way I could have had such fun like I did today - i feels great to be in a "good" shape!

No real workout but I went to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and walked for about 2 hours straight. My legs hurt now!
