Today was Masters swim, yikes.......the focus was butterfly. Soooooo not my stroke, hell I'm lucky I can survive with my crap-tastic free-style. Coach says 1,000 yards of fly and fly drills.....I though he was kidding, um NOT!
After that it was lots of kicking drills, wonderful (please note sarcasm here)! Thankfully we were able to use fins. I was so grateful to use fins that I even Googled the Swim fin inventor....Ben Franklin!
Later in the day I did a fartlek run...yes, saying "fartlek" still makes me laugh. It was hot over a China Camp, but I stayed on the roads. t felt like an over, but it was only 80 degrees.....I think it felt warmer than that because there was no breeze and was very dry. Oh well, great training for Vineman!

June!
Wow, June already! Next month is my first Ironman of the season....time flies!
This weekend I raced a Half-Marathon in Southern California....the Laguna Hills Memorial Day Half Marathon. I decided to run this race at the last minute, well technicaly a day before the race. Kinda bizarre to just decide on a whim to run a half-marathon, one of the benefits of training for Ironman!
I had run the day before so was not expecting much. Wound up only 2 minutes behind on my PR, not too shabby. I got to see Sheri, my sister-in-law, finish and see my niece and nephew do the kids run. I love that they are already racing! :)
