I second the Good Luck, Falcon.

3,000 yards swimming this morning, about 1.7 miles.  I was glad to see that Holly agreed with me about 1 mile of swimming not being equal to just 4 miles of running, because I don't ever remember having to sit down on the ground after running 7 miles, even a 10k race.  Even a Half Marathon for that matter.  But sit down for a while I did this morning.

Tomorrow will be just half that workout, literally.  I plan to do 1,500 yards which will keep me ahead of the pace bunny for my 20-miles in November fundraiser.

I have a workout coming up on Sunday that sounded too interesting to pass on.  The local Masters Swimming group (Adirondack Masters Swimming) is incorporating a fitness challenge into the annual meeting and luncheon, and the idea is that swimmers of similar speed and endurance share lanes and try to swim 50 repeats in about 1:40.  The faster swimmers will do 100's, the slower ones 50's, and those of us in the middle of the pack will hesitatingly choose 75's.  We get 1:45 to swim each interval, and while I know I can swim 100 yards in less than 1:45, I don't think I can do that for an hour and 40 minutes.   Picking the 75's lets me get a breather for about 15 or 20 seconds each time as well.  If I reach 50 repeats that will be 3,750 yards, or a bit over 2 miles.  I think it will be my distance record, but I need to check on that.  I figured out that there are actually 55 or 56 1:45 intervals in those 1 hour and 40 minutes, so I have a chance to sit out one every 10 reps and still make 50.

Oh, and Music?  Every few years I get introduced to a new artist or genre and decide I really like them for a while....lately I just find myself not wanting to listen to it.  And I could never run to music.  Fortunately it's not even an issue in the water.

Have a greta day tomorrow, Runners!
