4 weeks to go


This past week has been a "down" week for workouts. What with the colonoscopies, and all. Hard to exercise when you can't eat and then have to flush your bod of all you didn't eat. Hey, it was nuthin.

But today we ran a 10K race. with a 4 mile warm up, of course. Gina and I placed #1 and 2 in our age group in the Pride Race. Gotta love a race with not too many participants. Makes for a good shot at the ribbons.

We did test drive the wetsuits on Friday. This time we entered the water near the American fishermen, who seemed glad to see us. Although, as we got out I gave a wave to one of my Russian guys, and he seemed happy to see us,too.

Tomorrow we are doing a 1 mile swim race here at Green Lake. Should be interesting. A chance to swim hard for that distance (without running into a wall, or a fishing line or a kayak) and with lots of other swimmers thrashing around. Kind of triathlon race start training. Followed by a quick 25 mile bike ride.

Hopefully, we'll be home in time for half of one of the soccer games. Or at least the Mariner game.
