A New Personal Record

So, first I had to move my thursday run to friday and so I did 3 miles in like 31 mins.  Yesterday I punched out 35 mins in the pool.  I was trying to count my laps so I brought coins.  I got 13 laps in and then they made me switch to swimming across the pool the short way because they normally open the lap pool up for the kids even though they have a huge pool on the other side with water slides and everything else apparently that isn't enough. So myself and about 4 other people had to stop lap swimming so 6 kids and some older women could splash around in the lap pool because they apparently couldn't in the other pool.  Anyways rant over, went 10 laps across the pools which I estimated at 25 meters for a lap so I got about 800m not sure if that is a good pace.  And it was really about 30mins because of have to stop and adjust.

Then came today.  I was worried because its the first long run of the training program and I had never run 4 miles straight.  But now I can say I have.  I did 4 miles in 39.5 mins and feel great right now.  It isn't the nicest day out, very cloudy and gloomy and not real warm but I feel like a million bucks now.
