    Monday- Run 11k, walk 1, run 2. SO glad to finish that! I hate getting up early for long runs, but the weather is so much nicer before the sun comes up and I saw a nice sunrise. 

    Tuesday- Swim 2.2k, bike 5k. A good swim day, my arms were sore for the next 2 days. I swam at a good pace for the first 1/2 hour, then ran out of steam and just swam for the other 1/2 hour. 

    Wednesday-Boot camp, run 5k. A friend, that I told I am training for a 1/2, saw me running and stopped me and commented on how I can improve my running form. I didn't understand all of what he was saying, but then I asked my other friend, who was running with me and listening to all his comments, to explain everything to me again. She did, and then for the last 2.5 k I tried to change my running form. At first the comments were hard on my ego, but then I realized he was trying to be helpful. I think his advice can be helpful. I never really learned how to run properly, I just tried to teach myself @ 40.  

    Thursday- swim2.2, bike 15, walk 6

    Friday- run 5k, no boot camp so I actually went to the gym and tried to do some of those weight machines. Not sure what I was doing, but the air con was nice.

    Saturday- Saturday is gong to be super busy. I have a 6:30am committment, but if my ego gets the best of me I will put in another 5k...somehow. It is just that I want those extra 3 miles so I can have 25 miles for the week. What will win, my ego or my desire to sleep in ???
