IM Date: 5/21/09 - Update

Just a few things to update:  

Yesterday the toenails went "bye-bye".  Well, one came off as I was pulling some running shorts on and the inside of the shorts caught the edge of the nail and WHAM!  It was pulled off.  Fortunately the new one had started underneath, so it wasn't too painful.  Gross, yes...but at least not too painful and I was able to go out on my run immediately afterwards.  And the other I started to cut off and it's almost gone.  So I guess it could have been a lot worse.  Too much info???  Sorry.  

Which leads me into my next topic:  When the hell did Minnesota turn into a wind-tunnel???  Holy crap, we had 30 mile an hour sustained winds yesterday.  Which made the 94 degree temps easier to run in...but man, that's what I call a "head-wind".  Mother Nature could lay off the wind for a while...

Today I had my first long swim of training and it was good.  It was an hour swim and I got somewhere between 1.25 - 1.33 miles in.  Best of all, I felt good.  The swim is where I need to be my most diligent with training...because there's no coasting or walking in the swim like on the bike or run.  You stop – you sink.

That's all for now...hope you all have a great holiday weekend.
