Well, another early morning. It is really nice to get out in the early morning coolness, but not so cool to get up in the 4 o'clock hour. Met Toby and Smooth at Lehi and the temp was perfect - just a tad chilly before the sun came up. There were some hot/humid spots along the river, but overall a nice run. I couldn't believe that the underpass at Lehi Main St was still blocked! There is a good 6 feet or more of water just sitting there in the tunnel. Next time maybe I'll wear my tri stuff and just swim through - yuck! I already think Smooth is an amazing woman, but I am even more convinced now! She told some wonderful, miraculous stories to Toby and I as the miles flew by. Before we knew it we had our morningside and 13.5 miles in the bag. I seriously had just a wonderfully PERFECT run this morning. Thanks for making it all worth it ladies! After Toby took off Smooth and I finished up another 3.5 to round things out at 17 miles for the day. I made sure to end a tad early so that we could get a little cool down walk in, that always helps soreness for me. AP: 9:24 splits: 9:48, 9:25, 9:33, 9:31, 9:26, 9:30, 9:30, 9:16, 9:09, 9:12, 9:12, 9:03, 9:03, 9:44, 9:35, 9:25, 9:26 7:28 (last 28 feet - now lookey there!).
Came home and did the Ward breakfast then got everyone ready to swim and headed off to meet bye-wing and family at the pool. I got some pointers on swimming from my personal coaches and they even had some good drills for me to do as well! All in all I got 1600M (one mile) completed. Also got to play, visit and have a good time! I did my last 7 laps in 6:30, I won't admit that was with some nice speedy fins on, but I felt like I was cruising and had a great time! Caught a 30 min nap this afternoon while the two youngest slept, it was MUCH needed! I might just make it to 9:00 now :) Hubby has to work 8PM-1AM for some stupid change window thing at work, so since I don't have anyone to hang out with after the kids' bedtime, I think I'll just go to bed early. I know, I live a crazy life.
