Weekend - June 21 & 23, 2013
Friday Night Swim at Rec Center
Friday night, my family and I went to the Blue Ash Rec Center after work. We took Subway to eat and enjoyed the nice weather. The kiddie pool was closed for cleaning, so we set up near the large pool.
My wife took first kid watch, and I started doing laps in the deep end. I swam for about 25 minutes before I traded my wife and took over in the shallow end. I probably swam around 40 laps. After my wife swam for 20 minutes or so, I went back for another 20 minute swim with my hand paddles. I got in around 30 laps and then we headed out.
My wife said she grew up spending the summer at the pool and wanted to do that with our kids. So, I might get a lot of swimming in this summer.
Sunday Afternoon Run in Dublin, OH
We went to my parent's house in Dublin, Ohio, Sunday afternoon to hang out pool side. As soon as we got there, I changed and went for a short run. It was around 3pm, and hot as Hell. The area near their condo is very flat, which helped, but the heat was brutal. I did have a nice head wind on the way out, which helped it feel tolerable. I went out about 2 miles and then turned around. That head wind was now a tail wind, and I started sweating like crazy (even more so). By the time I got back to my parent's, I had run 4.4 miles in 46:45, for an average pace of 10:32mm, with an average HR of 161bpm. I enjoyed a few cold beers with my dad, jumping in the pool occasionally to keep cool. Nice little Sunday.
