A quick update for today’s post. My marathon is tomorrow. I am supposed to go for a very easy 2 mile jog but I am going to skip it to give my sore legs a day to rest. This will be my third attempt at CIM. I did it two other times but I did not finish well. Hopefully, I did everything right and finish running. I was planning on running with some friends from the running club who are planning on finishing in 3:40. I decided to slow down and run with the first pace group after 4:15. Maybe changing things up will give me a better shot at success. I am very excited to go back and tackle a challenge that has defeated me twice.
Now that I am finished with my marathon training, I started swimming for triathlon training. When I was taking it easy and only training for a marathon, Finis sent me a swimsense, swim monitor to review. I had to send it back after I reviewed it. I liked it but I was not swimming a lot to give it a really good review. I started swimming a few weeks ago, when I started to taper for the marathon. I really missed the swimsense. It is not exact but it is usually off by 25 yards over the course of a mile. When I am out for a swim, I don’t notice the difference between 37 and 38 laps. I was considering buying one from Amazon for about $200. This morning, I found they sent the Swimsense back! Christmas came early. I don’t have “consider” anymore. I have “mine” back. Thanks Finis.
Wish me well for the marathon.
