Drizzle

Ugh, it was drizzle after work. Drizzle on my way to the pool.
Still drizzle after I did the 15min. swim and started to run.
Drizzle on the bike ride home. Drizzle did not help my spirits.

No Breaks

Today was spin (45min.), then run (15min.). I was feeling pretty
spent after that spin class with only two quick rest periods.
Then, I went to run (keeping it at 5.7mph). When finished,
the legs had been going for sometime so as I started to
walk, there was a lightness of touch and I really felt like
I could've just floated away. Already thinking about tomorrow's
workout and what I need to pack and so on and so on...

Crazy Motivator

My gym instructor said at strength class (60min.) today that
she's just the "crazy motivator", while we're doing the work.
It's true. I've been going to this 'body pump' class since last
September and I can feel the difference. She'll say things like,
"there's nothing to it, but to do it" or "there should be no
motion on the ocean" or "keep it close to your chest like a
baby kitten" (while lifting 38lbs.). Hehe.

Supah River Run

Friends and I have a route we do called the "river run". Leaving the
Somerville hood, popping over to Cambridge, down to the Charles
River, and back through Inman and Union Square. It's just shy of
5 miles. Ran this with Kathleen today. Legs feeling good and that
Acai Berry drink kept me going.

Modification

Yesterday, got hit in a deluge on my bike on the way to the pool.
So, instead of swim(30)/run(25), I did an extra 20min. of swim and
skipped the run outside. Today, was a rest day. However, I have an
all day commitment tomorrow, so the swim/run combo is out and
went for an early evening run for 40min. in perfect temps, light breeze.

Bike/Strength

I'm just cooling off as I write this...finished a 45min. spin class and
15min. strength workout. I was super tired walking into it, but it
feels great to be done.

End of the Day

The plan was to run 40min. before work, but loads of rain made
me go to plan B. I thought about running at the gym after work
because clouds were still dark and light rain. However, I took
my chances and came home, changed, and took off into the west.
Sun had just came out and was beaming on the horizon.
It was a good good run.
