Yesterday, I got up a 5am and hooked up with a Masters Swim group for a 6-7am swim at the Palm Beach Gardens Aquatic Center. It was closed for Easter. Yet, 25 or so 40-55 year olds descended on the outdoor pool like a flock of seagulls that just spotted a fresh kill. When we finished they blew out as as fast as they arrived. Guess they thought they were going to be late for the early, early, early bird special.

| Closed? I think not. |

Got back to the house around 7:30am and then hit the road at 8:30am for a solid 5 mi run. Definitely felt stronger today and managed an 8:15 pace. Still blown away that the dude that won the Boston marathon
averaged 4:42 over 26.2 miles. Big time yikes.
Still feeling pretty fresh, I decided to do some unique swim training (see video below). It's a bit unorthodox, but sometimes you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone if you really want results. Disclamer: be sure to have qualified life guards present if you're going to attempt this.
