Is it wednesday?

nope, its monday, but i did a wednesday-like workout.

I ran with Run Club tonight. I did a nice, steady 6 miles at around 7:45 pace with a nice little kick at the end. I then left work and headed to the gym where I lifted biceps and back. Then I hopped in the pool for a 1000m swim. I was able to do a 400m swim without having to take a break. Nothing special but its progress. My freestyle is getting a little better, but I still can't get my breathing down.

In a completely unrelated story, rumors are abound that Lance Armstrong has his sights set on 5 cycling races next year, including Le Tour. He would be racing for no salary and no bonuses, posting all his blood work online. He was reported to be joining Astana, but Astana is denying the rumors. Still no word from Lance or his people. He apparently pulled out of the Chicago and NYC Marathons, which would go along nicely with these rumors. I'm not sure how I feel about it if rumors prove to be true. I'd love to see him win another title just to shut up the naysayers, but part of me wants him to just stay retired. No matter what he does, people will always be convinced he was doping.
