Runnin In The Sun

Good morning.

I watched a TV show that I recorded called, Super Humans. There really are some incredible people in this world. I liked the guy with the amazing brain. Numbers, to him, are represented by shapes and colors in his brain. He could recite the numerical value of Pi. Amazing.

I also liked the part about Dean karnazes. Regardless of what people think about him he has done some increadible stuff. He has done running things that I will never get close to.

The part about the women who consider themselves Mermaids was also interesting. They actually make their own tail section and swim with the sea-life. One woman can hold her breath for 5 minutes.

Cool stuff. Gives me hope for my own crazy journeys.

Yesterday was National Running Day. How could I not run on that day? Come on. So, I waited until 4:30 pm, close to the warmest part of the day and went for an easy 6 mile run. I just listened to tunes and enjoyed the warm Sun. Sort of a joy run.

I really liked my low heartrate data.

Today I will swim a new workout that my coach gave me. After that I may hop on the bike. This would be a swim to bike mini brick. I say mini because I need to drive home after the swim workout and then get on the bike so it's not immediate.

* It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin
