03-06-2024 Run/Swim

I decided to go for a short run after I got up.  Couldn't find my phone holder (I found it later), so I ended up holding my phone during the run, which isn't so safe.  Ran at a fairly slow pace down by and around the park.  I could feel my left ankle complaining a little bit but not so much.

Total distance = 2.29 mi
Total time = 22:39
Avg pace = 9:51
Total elevation gain = 149'
Avg heartrate = 156 bpm

Then I went for a swim at the WWC when it opened, saw the usual Wednesday crowd, so it was busier than normal.  Swam for 2500 yds following the normal protocol, including the last 500 yds without snorkel or swim pads.  Finished in just over 50 minutes.  Not a lot done for the rest of the morning.  Then I headed over to the hospital for my volunteer shift.  I'm getting better at figuring out things to keep me busy most of the time, including taking breaks when it looks like I'm caught up with current or pending tasks.  I am talking to patients and visitors more and having some success in helping them out, usually by providing something to drink or eat.  A couple of additional staff to mention are Sara (tall thin with dark hair, kinda standoffish), Kaitlyn (short brunette, friendlier), Victor (custodian, originally from Jalisco, Mexico and moved from Utah to SD about a year ago).  I was able to get home before it started raining, only had some scattered raindrops fall on me.  It was a quiet evening after that.
