45 minute run for today w/ 8 x 30 second fartlek intervals mixed in.  Toward the end I wasn't far from 6.2 miles so I went a little extra to get to the 10k mark finishing in 48:22, a new fastest time for this distance.  

Speed and drill sets at the pool.  While doing the kick sets toward the end of the workout my legs started cramping up pretty bad.  I'm not sure if it was from the speed intervals performed just before the kick sets or from something else.

John, congrads on the 10K time, followed with a tough swim workout, awesome. No way around it, brick,brick after brick building. Darn tough to get those workouts in this time of year. Hey, may come down and volunteer at the STG Iron Man, may see you down there. Likely the kick drills causing the calf issues. It seems easy to bonk when swimming with the lack of hydration and fuel during the swim.

Stay Kool, BRicked Up, B of BS Rools out

Brent, Not a bad idea. That would be a good way to check out a race.
