leaving for Africa!!!

see http://silkychrome.blogspot.com/2012/01/ek-climbs-... for details.

the last couple days have felt like days leading up to a race. i've been packing, researching, stressing, etc. just want to get on the plane and then the mountain already!!

couldn't get going this morning. ugh!

MAF with MK. kind of a weird one, I descended each mile by about :20 (which is completely opposite of how they're supposed to go) and had some left knee issues which caused me to switch mid-test to a more heel-strike form (which is also supposed to slow you down).

one result is the knowledge that in cold weather i probably need to warm up more. the other result is need to get back on the evening foam rolling.

but, as always, it great to run the sun up with good company!

CC Lakehouse to the Katy out-n-back. pace was faster than i would have set but people wanted to stay warm so i hung in the back and did my thing.

holy moly, beast of a swim this morning at Master's (Lane 6). main set 4x400.

it's crazy how tired butterfly makes my arms. i only swam 100 of it yesterday and i felt it a bunch in today's warm-up.
