Swim #17; Run

I did swim #17. It was fun. I did it with flippers because I was out at MFY in the 50-meter pool, and mentally I knew I'd do better with the flippers. And I did. Hooray for playing games with myself. At one point there was a lady in my lane with me, and I'd catch her every 250 or so; that helped me remember where I was. Sometime during the last 1,000, a guy jumped in with me and I was determine to not let him catch me. I succeeded! I wasn't as consistent as I'd hoped to be, but my average was 9:07 minutes per 500; total time was 1:03:52. Total variance was 42 seconds. Ouch. Here are the times:

• 8:41
• 8:53
  
• 9:00
  
• 9:16
  
• 9:25
  
• 9:23
  
• 9:12
  

• June 11 (back when I didn't have it all together): I started in the MFY outdoor pool, so my 500 times were a lot slower than I'd anticipated, and I wasn't happy. 9:55 and 10:16, I think.
• May 22: 9:38 (I might have added 50m, and here I breathed with every left stroke), 8:51 (here and for the following, I breathed with every other stroke), 8:46, 8:52, 8:57, 8:52. Average (counting the first at 8:50): 8:51 per 500. Total time: 53:58.39
• March 24: 8:34, 8:32, 8:38, 8:51, 8:52 (1:45, 1:47, 1:48, 2:39 [extra 50, so we're going with 1:49], 1:43). Average: 8:41 per 500. Total time: 43:31
  
• March 5: 7:58 (I might have missed 50m here), 8:59, 9:12, 9:10, 9:04 (1:51, 1:51, 1:50, 1:50, 1:43). Average: 8:52 per 500. Total time: 44:28
  
• February 17: 10:01 (extra 50), 8:32 (missed 50), 9:53, 7:33 (missed 100), 9:26 (1:52, 1:53, 1:52, 1:52, 1:47). Average: 9 minutes per 500. Total time: 45:02

Immediately after, I changed clothes and headed out for my 1:15 run. I stayed out 1:15, ran 30, walked a few, and then ran in 0.15-mile intervals. By the time I arrived back at MFY, I was down no less than 8 pounds. Hello, heat. And swimsuit sunburn lines.

• First part: 42:36. 4.06 miles (27:57 for 3.11 @ 8:59 avg and 14:39 for 0.94 @ 15.32 avg); 443 calories; 10:30 average; 157 HR
• Second part: Intervals. 27:01. 2.03 miles; 199 calories; 13:19 average; 146 HR. Active: 10.44, 1.05 mi. Rest: 16:17, 0.98 mi.

I will do my 5-minutes extreme slow tomorrow either before or after church, depending on how I feel after the morning's century.

Fun times at Anna and Josh’s house with Carolyn (Negley) and Isaac Ezell (Married since April) and homemade vanilla and chocolate ice cream with peanut butter/butterscotch toppings and brownies.
