Woke up nicely (<>!) and got ready for a run. Headed down, at a slower pace, to the park and did three loops around it before running back. Felt generally fine although my left calf was a little sore during the run and after.
Avg pace = 8:42/mile
Total distance = 4.19 mi
Elapsed running time = 36:28
Heartrate = ?? (Fitbit)
When I got home, I had a banana and then switched clothes for a swim at the WWC. Got there when it opened but, luckily for a Monday, had a lane to myself. Swam the 2000 yard protocol, struggling to keep my stroke even and long in the second half as well as controlling my breathing. Finished in around 38 minutes, I think I got my lap count correct. When I got home, Ann was getting ready to go to the beach, so I drove over to Aldi to pick up some stuff while I could use the car. She left in mid-morning, and I took the opportunity to cut the grass in the back yard. The lawn mower wouldn't start (naturally), so I took the carburetor off and cleared the holes in the fuel jet. That did the trick, although the gasoline was old and it needed some carb cleaner to get kick-started. Afterward, I drained all the gas out of the tank and the carburetor bowl, then ran the mower until it stopped. Am hoping that this keeps the jets clear for when I use it next, probably in the spring. The afternoon was a quiet one. I did a little bit of coding, trying to figure out how to add annotation to the elevation profile chart to show the gradients. No luck so far. I made a couple of batches of cookies, then after Ann got home I drove over to the parking lot by On the Border to meet Emily for a hike. We hiked along the San Dieguito River trail to the east, it was quite flat. I filled her in on some of the details of our recent trip as well as my visit back to Houston. After the hike we ate at the restaurant, it was a nice evening with her. Home after that and a quiet finish to the day.
