Ran a 4K

Yesterday I did the 4th-Fest 4K. I did pretty well considering how little I've been running this season. You can read all about it here.
Today Sue and I swam. I need to ween myself off the pool boy, so I was alternating hundreds (one with, one without) stopping only long enough to get or remove the poolboy. I did that for the first 500 yards, then took a 30-second break, then did another 300. After that, I did a few hundreds with Sue so we could work on form, and also so I could build up more endurance.
I think in the end I wound up doing like 1100-1200 yards. My shoulders are a little sore now, but OK.

We are going to go to Whipple Dam on Sunday to try open-water swimming again. We had done it last Sunday, and the water was so cold it was painful. (Seriously, I'd be surprised if it was over 60 degrees.) We did about 200 yards, and my form was terrible, and I couldn't breathe. Then the lifeguard/park ranger types kicked everybody out of the water (and off the beach) because they saw lightning. Don't get me started about the silliness of that...
