Getting faster, but still not fast enough

I think I am getting faster in the water, finally. It’s taken forever to notice any appreciable speed gains with my swimming, but I think I am finally getting there. I think that doing longer swims on Wednesdays is helping my Monday drill speed.

Last night I attempted to run 20 miles and failed pretty badly. Poor route planning found me on about seven miles of roads with no shoulder, no sidewalk, and heavy, fast traffic which sucked.

I was so tired I tried to call a cab to come get me but the dispatcher said the cab probably wouldn’t come since I was just on the street and not actually at an address.

I called a few friends but no one answered. So, I just walked it on home. Ended up being around fifteen minutes short of four hours total workout time.

My watch said I burned almost 3000 calories. I ordered a pizza when I got home, ate it, and went to sleep. I will attempt a long run again this weekend, hopefully with a better route and some better luck on my part.
