Long weekend

The Easter long weekend is upon us and a Happy Easter to all!

Thursday night was a nice swim. Did the 8 X 25M with 10 seconds rest between for my main interval set and did a 50M warm up and cool down. Felt ok but it had been a long haul of a week at work and I was starting to feel it. Knocked the swim off though without too much trouble and felt quite good at the end of it! Starting to really see the benefits of the cross training.

Had a great run today out in the sun with a beautiful temperature of 15C. In other words and absolutely perfect day for a run. Did a route that had some good rolling hills with a few good climbs and descents and I took them on and won. Went for 40 minutes and did a total of 5.36 Km plus a 20 minute walk for an additional 1.12 Km. The drawback of running a new route is sometimes the walk at the end is a little longer than you would expect. Also ran with my girlfriend so that made it an even better run. Nice to have someone to run with so you can have a bit of a chit chat. Makes the run go by a little faster.

Tomorrow I am on the bike and I think that I am going to make it my first ride outside of the year. The weather is suppose to be about the same as today so that will make it another perfect day to be outside!

Talk to you tomorrow.
