I listen to Tac and Bigun's podcast - Bigun's always bragging about his Year-round-outdoor-training-center. (read that in a griping whining jealous voice). I am so so so ready for some warm weather.
Anyway, we did run 6 miles in about an hour, and then I swam 3300 yards. Great swim workout. I love Jeanne, the girl who writes our swim workouts. Her hubba was captain of the Olympic swim team years back (and has two silver medals!), and she herself is quite an amazing swimmer - so we always have these great workouts:
---- Today our main set was a "timed" 300, followed by 10 x 100's (50 FAST as you can/ 50 easy - take 10 seconds rest after the last person in your lane finishes between each 100). After the last 100, take your 10 seconds and then do another "timed" 300 - and it has to be faster than your first 300.
So you eat up 1600 yards, but it's broken up into manageable pieces - none of which really kills you, but you know you are working hard.
Good thing I had two hours training in my pocket because this afternoon, IronGreg, IronGirlNyhus and I went to the reception place for their wedding to sample all the possible foods and desserts. So 15 entrees and 3 pieces of cake later, I have officially undone my hard work.
But I'm happy!!!! When was the last time you ate all those desserts?

Let me know if you guys every need another taste tester!! Looking forward to seeing you guys soon. GW Du is just around the corner-Yippee
sounds like an awesome day, jenny! i will steal that workout when i'm back in action - sounds fun.
and desserts - can't live without them. i have at least one every day, which is why i'm already up to 183 this time (i topped 200 with my first too!!)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............wedding desserts. So worth it.
That swim workout sounds killer - but in a good way.
That damn bigun...
You know where we live. 80 degrees today and mild--and an guest bedroom with an open invitation. My Minnesota homies can come any time.
hmm 3 slices of cake. That's almost 1000 yard for a piece of cake. Definitely worth it.
kc - your blog is down again! you're at 183? woo-hoot! yes, I was 201 and 198 with Bobby and Ally. If you top 200 for this kid, too, you win and I will buy you prize!
yum, dessert is a part of my every day life. it doesn't seem to be helping me shed the last few baby lbs.
Hey, wish I would have known you were running this morning! I did 8 by the lakes and was miserable from mile 1 to 8!! I could have used some company and distraction from my heavy legs and no-desire-to-run-this-morning attitude! :) Great job on the workout in our less than great weather.
i don't know, but you all have had some whacky weather this year. come visit. its like 100 already. :-)
did you hear me on the podcast??????? afterwards, bigun said i was chatty. is that some sort of slang for darn, girl, you could have talked a little less???
miss you!!
Great swim workout...as for the desserts, isn't that refueling?? That's what I told myself the other night as I was eating ice cream :)
what..you didn't call so i could help taste the cakes....gheeesh
Your swim workout made me cry just reading about it. I think I need cake to make me feel better.
Spring is here in Chicago, and I am loving it. Outdoor running is so much nicer than the treadmill.
Great workout.
