Ran the Fitness center loop so I could get some swimming in. Swam 400 m. I couldn't get my breathing right. This happens sometimes running when I just can't seem to get in sync. I go through the whole running thinking I need to find a way to get that one big breath. When I was swimming, I would get about 35-40 meters down the lane and feel like I had to take a couple deep breathes. Much the same as when running, but here I will inhale water if I'm not careful. Just couldn't get in sync. On the upside, this is the fastest I have run this route. I have been trying to remember to write what happens while run, or what I think about. My memory stinks, and when I'm running I always think "now remember to write about that." So tonight I passed a kid on a long board. He pulled out of a side street about 200 yrds ahead of me, I didn't think I stood a chance of catching him, it took me a half mile. He didn't know I was back there for awhile, then I think he heard my steps. He looked back at me, I noticed his pushing came with more frequency. But, I got him.
