Well, not exactly, but I have started to pay attention to it. I meant to post last week about my 800 meter time but life got hectic and busy and you know how that goes... So my time for the 800 meter swim was 20 minutes and 10 seconds. I felt pretty darn good about this! It was nice to just pace myself and not feel panicky. So, that's that.
This weekend I ran in the 1st Annual Bryce Riley Memorial 5K with Lindsy and another friend Billie. Bryce was an Honored Hero for Team In Training and lost his fight to leukemia this past December 23rd at the age of 5. The event was a major success for Bryce's parents, a huge turn out within the community with lots of fun things going on for race participants and family members. It was a really fun race to run, and even though I couldn't keep up with my running partners I still had my best time ever! I finished the race in 27 minutes and 7 seconds!! The time of the last 5K I did was 29 minutes 30something seconds. So I shaved nearly 2 1/2 minutes off! :) SO, I was happy....the training has gotten me somewhere! (oh, and if you'd like to read more about Bryce Riley's story, follow this link: http://www.johnsrunwalkshop.com/Flyers/BryceRiley5k08reg.pdf )
Finally, to sum up my training notes. Lindsy and I did brick work on our own last night. And while it doesn't lend itself to a whole lot to write about, we felt pretty darn good. Instead of doing bike-run-bike-run-bike-run, we did a straight 12 mile bike ride through the beautiful landscape and rolling hills of Nicholasville, KY, and then a 3 mile run. It was great and I felt good! It was a nice "break" in our team training.
