Training Update: Rail Trail Run

A typical Sunday morning for us (when we're not racing) starts off with a long run. Today we decided to go flat for the run since it involved some pretty challenging, at least on paper, intervals. Laurel broke out a pair of new Nike LunarEclipse running shoes for the occasion. Since my workout was shorter than Laurel's I hopped on my mountain bike and paced her through her last few intervals. I rode just over 5:20 pace and she stuck to me like glue! My running pace is down to my high school dual meet 3200m speed, but improving with every run.

The day after this ride, there was a big fire in this area that burned down (intentionally) one of the famous old Catskills resorts. My dad used to go to the Tamarack Lodge for "singles weekends" but it's been a smashed dream for years, complete with a very spooky swimming pool.

Birthday Swim Set

Yesterday was our friend Lino's 40th birthday so I decided to switch up our planned swim workout and do a 40-themed set instead.  The set looked harder than it turned out and it flew by.
