I'm changing things up a little so I can squeeze another bike and run in per week. It basically means I have to double up my swim and run days. 

So I beat my record and set a goal I planned on for this month. Funny thing is I set this goal last week!!  Apparently I'm not aiming high enough.  So what do you think?  Can I make 32:00 by months end?

I've really been slacking in the pool.  Looking at my blog it's been three weeks since I've been in the pool.  On that day I noted that I hadn't been in the pool for two weeks. So in the last 5 weeks I've only swam twice. It really doesn't seem possible but I do try and update after each workout. To make matters worse we have a time change coming up.  Im not a morning person and 6am is the only time i have available to swim so it will feel like 5am after the change.  I need to be trying hard to make these morning workouts cause all the triathlons are early and I'll need to be on the road by 5am to make the transition area before close. 

So I definitely suffered a bit today. By the end of my workout my left arm didn't want to move. I never really felt comfortable and couldn't take in a clean breathe of air without taking in a drop or two ( this is absolute torture for me ). Bottom line I gotta start waking up.

Don't know what to say about the swim...I'll continue to encourage you!

About the time change, I am actually excited about it since I can now make most of my run in the daylight (early morning). I could give you a call in the middle of my run if that would help..?
