Just a ton of 100's.
Worked on front quadrant swimming/gliding/bi-lateral breathing.

Afterwork I shot up to finger rock trail head.
Ran my usual up to the spring, fast this time.It was barely snowing.

It felt stoooopid fast.

Drove to edith ball afterwards, the pool was steaming, water temp 84degrees.

I've been reading total immersion, and worked on some of the techniques from the book, floated a bit not sure how many yards but a ton of 50 and 100 yard sets,left my watch in the jeep.

toothache my eye

I have had a horrible, terrible, AWE-FULL:) toothache since sunday night.
I have an appointment thursday.
I forced myself to run tonight after work even though I was sure it would be no-fun and my tooth would start pounding.

Lakeside loop-it turned out o.k. and I p.r'd again, but this time I was barely trying-
20min45sec30hund. this felt easy.

Dentist in the morning oh goody! :(

land speed

Well lets see I actually had a three day weekend!
I really didnt do much.
Watched movies with Poppy tinkered on the jeep, played with the Loo dog.

I considered doing the ttr run this morning but chose to hang out with Poppy.
She was having very mild contractions all last night and most of today

I decided to surprise her with a drive up to the Lemmon.

So we bundled up and hopped in the jeep.
Upon arriving @ the base of the mountain we were promptly discouraged by pima county sherriffs.
They finally conceded and let us go on through.
It was a fun drive, snow @ and above 7000 feet.
We played and got some pie and hot coco @ Iron door!!
Great sunday drive.
Zane still hasnt decided to grace us with his presence.

Okay back home...

Set a new p.r. for my lakeside loop20min57sec69hund. and yes I pushed pretty steady trying to stay smooth with a consistent high turn over but smooth, minimizing impact and trying to perfect my foot strike all while hauling ASS!!!
I may not do any long runs (14+miles) until January.

forgot my head cuz it wasn't attached

So I planned on hitting Reid on the way home from work.
I forgot my shorts so I stopped into the running shop on the way (next door to my work) and picked up some.
I hit up Reid(long way) 22min16 sec barely started to push then snuck in a quick swim @ Edith Ball before they closed
50 yard warm up then 500 yards 8min 30 sec.
