Ran with Ryan this morning out to the River Lodge and along the "nature" trail that winds through the woods between golf holes back to the club. We added on a mile out-and-back out to the Bluffs before heading down the main drag, where Ryan turned off around 6.5 miles and I continued down to the gatehouse and along the berm to finish up my run. I was planning to run slowly today, but even with .75 miles on the dirt nature trail and ~2 miles along the packed gravel path along the berm, it's hard to run slowly on a route that's basically flat as a pancake and mostly road :-) So we just went with it. I did stop briefly after Ryan turned off, mostly in an attempt to stretch out my right hip, which although feeling better still is tight, but also to open a gu, something I haven't quite perfected on the run without getting sticky gel all over my hands :-) Got in a decent 10 miles. Saw a Great Blue Heron and Great Egret along the big pond - such big wingspans - always fun to see in flight.
This afternoon, Ryan, Sam and I went up to the pool. I was freezing the second I got in and stayed that way during the entire 45 minutes that I lasted in the water. I did a number of laps in an attempt to get warm (can I call this crosstraining?! :) ), but it didn't really work :-0 While I'm definitely a better swimmer than Ryan, he can certainly outlast me in the water. Sam, of course, being 4 years old, is pretty much impervious to the cold and would stay in all day if she could. Ha!
