Sunday – Rode 3 loops around Central park plus 10 loops around Harlem hill. Harlem Hill is a 4.4% grade hill so it’s a pretty good hill workout. Weather was amazing today and it’s pretty crowded in Central Park. So did the Hill Repeats until the park became less crowded. Rode around 34 miles today. It’s more efficient riding in Central Park than going all the way to Nyack because it only took me less than 2 hours to do 34 miles and was able to to avoid the traffics.

Saturday – Did the Scotland run 10k, was pretty nervous before the race because my left ankle has been hurting the whole week and was glad that my left ankle turned out ok. I felt fine after the first mile so I raced it. 39:38, 6:24 m/m pace

Friday – Swam for 30 mins in the pool in Chelsea. My problem now is that my legs are sinking, I guess I’ll need to figure out a way to gain more fat so I can float better..lol
Thurs – Rest
Wed – Swam in the pool in Chelsea
Tues – Did a recovery run with the whippet, my left ankle were hurting, afraid that it might be tendinitis so took it easy, especially there is a race coming up on Sat. Only ran 2 miles.
Mon – Swam in the pool in Riverbank State Park (145th st) with Keri, Rich, Emi and Nikki. This is my first time to the pool, it’s $2 for lap swim. Keri gave me some good advices
– Catch the water more before pulling
-Don’t glide too much and keep the turnover of my stroke constant so I don’t lose momentum
-Figure out a way to avoid my legs from sinking
The pool is pretty nice, not as crowded as the one in Chelsea but it’s a little far so not too efficient use of my time, even though the pool is nicer. Went to Covo for happy hour pizza later, the pizza is amazing. It’s 50% off on every Mon and Tues.
