Workouts - Wedensday, Nov 14 - Call me Ishmael!!!

On this day in 1851, Herman Melville's novel "Moby Dick" was published. Oh yah... And Iron Boy was birthed too.

I'm aiming for the elliptical trainer at lunch. Had a good sleep-in this morning.

All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick. He piled upon the whale?s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart?s shell upon it.

Assail your whale tri-peeps!!

No wonder he qualified for Clearwater, he was born a long time ago.

Up at 4:15 today for a 4 mile run through freezing rain. Then had to drive for 5 hours as the GF and had to go to the US Consulate to get more pages put in our passports. I guess we travel too much.

Plan to sit on the trainer for a bit tonight.

Enjoy all.

Just not in public, please!

Psyching myself up for a sub-40F bike commute to work in about half an hour. Oh boy.

Tonight it's masters swim. Just another Wednesday, I guess. Oh wait! It's a special Wednesday! A special Wednesday for our special guy, Happy Birthday Thor!!!

Fishbowl this morning. Drills and speed work. Kept losing track of count, so most likely went way over. Whatever. 46mins

Run afterwards. 50min z1-2. I was feeling overall tired. Managed 5.6m for a 8:50pace.

Luckily it was an uneventful run. Yesterday, I ended up in the middle of a bank robbery chase. Went to make my final turn when a cop pulled up and came out with gun drawn... After showering, I came out of the gym to find cops searching around the gym. They offered to walk me to my van. This is DUBLIN--as in nuthin' ever happens here!

Need advice about whether the "pointers" I got from the Y lifeguard are actually helping or hurting...

5.3 mile lunch run. A leisurely 45+ minutes (about 8:40 pace).

Weird facial stuff today. Woke up with one side of my face looking like Marlon Brando in the Godfather ... Antibiotics for me! (doc unsure - maybe blocked or infected saliva gland) ... Yeesh ... looking at potential side effects of meds, will be glad when off 'em. Kids get a kick out of my face though!

Happy birthday Thor.

Reg.
