40 laps (almost) continuous, which was good, but otherwise the swim was uninspired. Really, the only remarkable thing was that I toughed it out to 80 when I wanted to quit at 40.

Bought a new bike...my five year bike itch.

50 F with 7-10 mph winds. Sounds lovely, and once I get over whining about the wind coming back, I'll remember how lovely it was. Took 6 minutes more for the return trip. OK, I'm done whining...since, it was being outside today was just such a wonderful interruption to winter. Back to the yucky stuff tomorrow.

Saw a beautiful crane next to Four Mile Run on the way out. Meant to stop for a picture on the way back, but some suits inspecting the trail distracted me, and I forgot.

Did take these plane pictures, which reminded me that Lailah and I stopped to watch the landings last week after we had lunch with Roger. Which is the lead in to noting that someone caught her cold, and it wasn't me.

Running late was good motivation to swim the best time of the new year. That and wearing the super swim cap for less drag in the water. My hair is an inch long again, so it was slowing me down... ;-)

Two minutes faster than last week. Got done two minutes before the pool closed.

Total rest was 2:01

Prince William - Mawavi (fire) Road, South Valley Trail (mostly gnarly goat like trail), High Meadows Trail (nice single track), then Scenic Drive (paved). Ran a bit here and there. Beautiful day to be out. Glad that I decided that designing my own adventure was the right thing for me.

Treadmill - Started out jogging around 3.6 mph and increased .1 every minute up to 5 mph, then back to 4.3-4, when I switched to walking for last five minutes. Felt pretty good.

1:08 total rest, with a set of 30, 20, 20.
