Actually did what I was supposed to do today

On the training schedule for today was speedwork and swimming.

Speedwork? Check. Meet up with Bill Bishop at the Y at 6 am and ran down to Memorial Park. Nothing too strenuous today, 3 days before the race. We did 4x400 at mile pace. Wanted to get the legs moving fast. Was pretty consistent hitting the laps at a 5:30/mi pace. Not sure I could keep up that pace for a mile though. Ran back to the Y for a total of 3 miles.

Swimming? Check. Did 2000y, alternating 400 yard sets with and without the pull buoys. Starting to feel pretty comfortable in the pool. I think a lesson or two might be in order now that I'm not obsessed with survival and doing the windmill stroke. I was consciously working on the pull through the water, making sure I wasn't going too deep or crossing the midline.

Yeah! Back on track! Tomorrow morning will be an easy recovery run or bike ride.
