- The new shoes rock. I was only blistery because I was blistery from my old shoes.
- I stashed my old shoes by my cooler along my 5-mile loop in case I needed them.
- The heat was also blistery, 80’s low 90’s by the time I finished – I started at 6AM.
- No leg torture today, it resumes on Thursday. Which is good because my legs are tired. I do, however, get to be the Torturer of other innocent souls twice this week.
- Today was upper-body weights, ab torture and swimming – my arms are tired from the exhausting swim workout

Oh, man. That just brought back some blistering memories of when I lived in Dallas. I used to meet a friend at a neighborhood track a little before 5am to beat the heat. Except for how we didn’t really beat it.
But just think—if the weather for this year’s Chicago Marathon is anything like last year’s, you will be PREPARED!
Holy Trout-Ass. It was soooo hot this weekend. I need a pool.
Rowdy looks like he has some pool experience.
Nice job on the 17 miler. My 3 almost put me in the grave Saturday morning (didn’t start until almost 11).
you are doing it girl. nice work. later.
I had thought I was going to see some kind of Olympic swimming meet clip. However, it looks like a nice workout.
Finally! A workout I can relate to! If my dog did that I would be at the bottom of the pool.
All I can say about that workout is, BRUTAL!;)
that looks like my kind of swim workout…why why why does it have to be so f’ing hot in Texas?!?! I started at 7AM to do 8 and chopped it to 6.2 because my head was in flames.
love it!
Glad to hear you like the new kicks! nice swim workout! 🙂
I love your leg work in this workout. Oh that was Rowdy….
I think I will keep this for my screen saver- I especially like the sound of the waterfall….
You have one hell of a beautiful back yard to come home to after a grueling workout. Glad you are enjoying it so much!
I think Rowdy needs one of these. He might get thirsty during his swim workout too.

Your dog standing on you just cracks me up!
Nice workout!
Great workout…it’s no wonder your arms are so sore. 😉
That’s exactly what a girl needs after a long run! PERFECT!! Glad the shoes worked for you.
You did that with the dog for added weight? Why do you take your body through so much?
Nice video and a big pool!.
Groet Rinus.

That’s my favorite kind of swim practice!!!
come sit right down and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip that started from this swimming pool aboard this tiny raft.
the babe was a mighty floating chick.
the dog wimpy for sure.
five fingers pushed grabbed that little wuss
and made him take a tour.
she made him take a tour.
