Monday, August 1, 2011 Workouts

Monday, August 1, 2011

Today’s swim was dedicated in honor of Leon Buchanan, currently battling cancer and today’s run was dedicated in honor of Judy Buchanan, breast cancer.

This morning I headed to the pool for a 4000 meter endurance swim.  The idea this morning was to swim steady from start to finish taking splits every 500 meters.  My splits were 9:19, 9:23, 9:19, 9:24, 9:21, 9:20, 9:22, and 9:18.  I am pleased with the consistency of my splits.

At lunch I headed out for a 7 mile run.  The goal was to just keep it steady and not allow the pace to drop due to the heat.  I carried a bottle of water and filled it up again after 4 miles.  It was definitely hot but I was able to keep a steady pace and in fact progressively picked up the pace each mile.

Weather Report:  Min./Max.: 87.4 °F/88.0 °F; Humidity: 66.5%; Dew point: 75.3 °F; Wind Speed: 8.3 mph.

Happy Training Everyone!
