Personal:

I'm a former rower, looking at getting into some other form of competition after "retirement" from my pastime of the previous four years. I'm dedicated, but a little held back by my formerly 215lb 6'7" frame.

Same as always, 35 minutes on the treadmill. Going to run outside on Wednesday, and super stoked about it. Going to try ~35 miles this week, will probably stay there for a couple weeks, depending on how I'm feeling, before increasing again. No pain!

Ran outside today, which was lovely. Pretty much went 1 mile aerobic, 1 mile 5k-ish speed twice through, and then a mile and a half aerobic. Twice around the inner ring of Green Lake, where the race is this Sunday. Went 5:58 and 5:49 for the miles, though I used the lake markings which are accurate if you follow the middle lines, but I was able to cut some time out doing tangents. Nonetheless, faster than 5k speed, but not too much! Particularly good considering I'm wearing the slower Asics. Maybe I'll break 19 on Sunday...

Ran Sunday's course twice, basically aerobic, though I ran the last half mile fast, at a 5:35 pace, was surprised at the pace. Might aim for 19:30 or faster, rather than just 20...

Last run before the 5k. Treadmill, easier pace, a little longer time to stretch the legs out. Was a little stiff, because today was the alumni regatta up in Bellingham, alumni beat the current rowers for the fourth year running!

 Here's to a PR tommorrow morning, and good studying tonight!
