Tight on Time (SUAS)

I got up early enough this morning to shave all the appropriate things in order to hit the pool this afternoon.  But I got hung up a little at the office helping the surveyor fix an easement description (I really should have drawn the easement centered on the sewer instead of offset by 2').  I was really tight on time and briefly thought about skipping my workout, but decided to suck it up and swim (SUAS).  I decided that I would knock out 1000 yards come hell or high water. 

I fought my way across town, ran into the ARC, stripped and put on my suit in record speed and headed to the lap lanes.  I did 20 laps (1000 yards) in about 25 minutes (yes, I know I am slow), jumped right back out, dressed while still basically dripping wet and dashed out the door in order to get home with 6 minutes to spare in leaving to take my daughter to her piano lesson.  Speed limits may or may not have been violated.

I felt a twinge in my ankle the first lap or so, but that quickly subsided (though I probably didn't kick as hard after that).  Will have to continue low impact exercise this week.  Crossing my fingers I can take a short bike ride tomorrow afternoon.  Temps aren't supposed to be all that bad, but 50% chance of rain.  Luck be on my side!

  2. That running goal is so close, you'll get it for sure.

    What's the route of the TDC out of curiosity?
