Swim and speed work for the run

Slept in again. Damn! Had to combine swim and run at lunch. Swam a 2x750 with 10:59 and 12:02 splits and a one minute rest. Not bad, considering I haven't been in the water for ten days. From the pool, ran down to Davis Field (half mile?) for speed work. 1x800 on 3:10 (so slow, hurt so much!), 1x400 (1:22) 1x200 and 1x100. I really don't like the 800. My legs felt tired on the run to the track, and I knew that 800 would hurt, but it went beyond my expectation. Honestly, though, I wanted to do two sets of each today, but time didn't allow. A second 800 would have come in at about 4:00 probably. My run is definitely suffering from the extra focus on the bike.

Bike to work starts Friday (May 1). From then on, it's bike to work til mid-September maybe, and at least til Labor Day. It's only a 1.5 miles to work! Last year I hit 100% bike to work, and I rode in the rain a few days. Hope to match that this year.
