Got up, <>, and went over to the WWC for a swim as it opened. This time, I swam 2500 yds following normal protocol and then 20 lengths without swim pads or snorkel. Those last 20 lengths were tough, it had been a while since I swam that distance. Need more sessions with longer distances. I finished the 2500 yds in a little over 52 minutes, while I took 41:17 to swim the first 2000 yds. When I got home, I went in the backyard and weeded for a bit, listening to The Three Body Problem on audio. It was warmer than it had been, so I didn't stay out as long. Ann went to the beach with Kay, so when I got back in I watched some TV and then went upstairs to look at my tablet. I had had a little bit to eat and was surprised when the notification popped up at noon for the Palomar volunteer thank-you lunch, which I had forgotten about. So I hopped in the shower and had a quick wash before heading over to the hospital. At the lunch, I sat with a number of volunteers who had been around a lot longer than me, and I got to meet Frank Safranek and Margaret Mertens face-to-face. Jersey Mike's for lunch, and thankfully they had ordered some vegetarian sandwiches. It was pleasant, not as awkward as I thought it might be. Then I came home and had a quiet afternoon, including trying to see if I could examine a 1 TB drive that hadn't responded when I tried to hook it up externally. No luck. But on the plus side, I verified that my RAID set-up of mirroring two 1 TB drives in the PC appears to be working. Later in the afternoon, we drove over to Kit Carson Park to meet Emily, Caleb, and Jen for another installment of Couch to 5k. This was Week 2 of the protocol, with longer running times but fewer of them. Emily kept jogging during the running sections, and Caleb tried to keep his pace down to stay closer to her. Ann and Jen slowed down toward the end of the running. Jen is quite the talker and can get on rants about her physical issues, which was a little tiresome. I ran back to them after each running section, just to get in a little more running time. What's shown below is a combination of running and walking.
Avg pace = 13:28/mi
Total distance = 2.93 mi
Elapsed time = 44:11
Total elevation gain = 90'
Avg heartrate = 110 bpm
It was a quiet evening.
