A New Milestone Reached!

I had another good morning today.  I woke up at about 5:00 and did the usual: bathroom, threw on clothes, grabbed my swim suit, towel and goggles and headed to the pool.

I had planned to swim 750 yards, by the same 100 yard repeat pattern that I had used on Wednesday.  I felt very good on the swim again and by the time I reached 700 yards, I wanted to keep going!  I did another 100 yards and then thought, “maybe I will try for 1000″.  Well, I did it!  1000 yards or 40 lengths of the 25 yard pool.  I was tired after, but excited that I had reached that milestone.

I rushed back home, fed the dogs and got a shower.  I threw on the bike clothes because I was going to bike to work again!  I had planned ahead more this time and left my work clothes at the office yesterday.  I took a shorter route this time and made the 9 mile trip in about 30 minutes.  I got to work, did a quick “sink shower” in the bathroom, changed clothes and I was ready for work.  I will add more on the bike home later.

The bike home was good, but mostly uneventful.  I did see another deer, but not in the same fasion as before.  It was off the side of the road.  I heard something moving through some bushes and looked over to see a deer about the same size as I had seen the first morning I biked to work.  I told it not to come into the road and kept on.  Hopefully it listened to me.

Here are the stats on the way to work and here are the stats for the way home.
