Master's Workout - 4/30/2009

Coach went a little crazy with the workout this morning . . .

• 12 x 25 on :30, :30, :20
• 8 x 50 kick IM order on some interval
• 12 x 100 Pull on 1:40, 1:40, 1:35ish
• 12 x 50 kick on :55 (this is when I started counting the yardage)
  
• 16 x 50 swim on :60 - odds all out, evens recover (I did about 4 and got out)
• 6 x 75s something or other
• 8 x 100s
• And, then another 1200 yards that I can't remember.
  

Workout yardage: 4750
My yardage: 2600

Not a lot of yardage today, but that pull set was tough. There were 10 minutes spent agreeing to compete in a swim meet if Coach will swim a workout with us. :-) We will see what happens.

Big Sur Marathon 5K

Team Johnson headed out at 6:10am from Santa Cruz to Carmel for this morning's event. We made a real effort to take pics, so here is the photo blog.


Sara and I stretching with the help of tall and sturdy Caleb.


At the start. Aren't dad's fun?


And, we're off!


This was my first run since the Vineman Showdown a few weeks ago. For most of the event we ran for 1 minute and walked for a minute. Dad and Cabe can walk as fast as I jog.


Beautiful views!


Our shirts got a lot of comments. :-) "Go Team Johnson!" "I love your shirts!" They were a big hit. But its time for some short sleeve Team Johnson shirts for the summer.


More views and Team Johnson.

For the last half mile Caleb used his long stride and broke away to the finish. Sara tried to catch up with him and finished a few minutes later. Dad and I stuck together and ran in together.


Sara's big finish!


Dad and I coming in. It's doesn't look like it, but we are running. Good job on the running Dad!! We finished in 47:26, meeting Dad's goal of under an hour.

I can't believe that I am about to type this, but I think I'm getting the hang of this running thing. I'm ready to work up to running for an entire 5K. Wait, who typed that?

We had a great time and loved the location and are toying with the idea of doing the marathon relay. We will see what the year holds . . .
