Week 10 was a good training week.  I had a good strong swim workout with the Club on Saturday. During one set, I swear I thought I was sweating under my swim cap! And when we did the “fun” stuff at the end and Shaun had us swim underwater as far as we could, I actually made it the entire length of the pool! …Popping up at the shallow end, ready for accolades only to find everyone chatting amongst themselves and climbing out of the pool. LOL.  Today was the Club’s first run time trial of the year and while I didn’t PR, I did run my 3^rd fastest 5K (26:27) on a day where the trail was full of people and their dogs, after a night of martinis & champagne cocktails, and following a couple of weeks of ramped up training. I’ll take it.

After today’s efforts, I hit the mall to celebrate completing 10 weeks of this 40-week training journey. Retail rewards thanks to the lululemon gift card that my very generous son gave me for Christmas. Groove shorts, pacesetter skirt, and the practice daily tank. New gear and the potential postponement of laundry day… Yay!

Unfortunately, with week 11, I’ll be on call for most of it. Boooo! Good thing it’s taper time for the First Half so no long runs, accomplished on short loops, with the Blackberry in hand. Swimming will require the enlistment of my support crew to sit on deck with my Blackberry in hand, ready to flag me down if it rings. Fortunately, my girl will do it for 5 bucks a swim!
