mizuno precision japanese flower.  they are so old i am not putting them up on the list of shoes above.  many, many miles on them, let's just say that.  Up at 6am.  Carpool to pool for Courtney.  Ran up to canal trail on Battlecreek Drive from PG swim pool.  First mile 9:12.  Last mile 6:40.  Ran 4 miles on the canal dirt trail.  AP 7:49.  I was movin' on the trail and didn't realize it.  THEN another mile swim at the pool.  Took 10:20 to go 12 laps.  That is pretty quick.  I felt strong.   1800 yards in under 33 minutes with 40 second and 30 second break.  Then did 2 laps breast stroke, 2 laps back stroke and one lap again with freestyle.  Will start some speed work in the pool next week.  Work the next two days so just two 5 mile runs those days and one 10 miler on Saturday.  Ankle-- numb and shooting nerve pains. Didn't act up as much as yesterday.  Steroid shot in the back pending.  Kim's mom's ankle is also numb from a herniated disc in the same area.  She got a steroid shot yesterday. Waiting to hear how she feels, if the numbness goes away.  There is also the new therapy where they inject antioxidants into the site.  It has a high success rate.  Not covered by insurance so I need to make sure that's the best treatment.     I have a herniated L4-L5 lumbar disc.  My left kidney is also working overtime.  CUTEST video I have seen in a while and appropriate since I love cookies:  go to youtube and find the video "Sesame Street: Share It Maybe".  Definitely a must watch.  Show your kids/nephews/nieces etc.... :D.

You run so strong especially considering all your health issues. I know nothing about swimming, but it sounds like you're awesome at that too. Way to go!!
