Levy Trail/Senior Center/Levy Loop

I walked two miles on the Levy Trail this morning in 29:01, and saw a guy on a trencher digging a trench right down the middle of the trail. He said it was for a cable for lights which will reach the length of the trail, from I-30 to Camp Robinson.

I swam 5x100 yards at the Hays Senior Center, with one-minute intervals, in 2:00.9, 2:00.9, 1:59.9, 2:03.1, and 2:01.8. I swam 250 yards up and 100 yards down.

This evening, right after the Reds got thumped, I walked the Levy Loop in 28:24, and felt great. I walked in a pair of Tredz®, which I believe are Academy Sports® generics. I know they cost less than $20 when I bought them in the summer of 2011. I bought them for walking, but they got tucked under my bed and forgotten about until a month or so ago. Now I love them. This will sound crazy, but they feel as though they rock forward from heel to toe and then nearly catapult me, even though they weigh thirteen ounces (according to my very cheap, plastic kitchen scale). I might try running in them. I might also soon try taking one day off between runs, rather than two. Maybe. We'll see.
