August 23

The schedule called for an 8 mile run, but the marathon TnT run is far away. So I called teammate Stephanie, who agreed to run (she is not historically a runner) if she could torture me by making me join her Masters swim group. I agreed, and ran into just what I expected: 8 people in the pool, and they would do 150 yard sprints, while I finished at the same time doing 100 yd. I can't figure out how they swim so fast. So I did probably 1600 yds. & got out of the pool.
Stephanie & I then ran 8.55 miles, and, as expected, it is so much easier when you have someone to run with. Not fast, but this run is a distance thing. It took about 1:10, or a bit under 10 min/mile.
