Brick with le child

We were fortunate to have another glorious day in the 60s. Burned some serious calories today doing a run/swim brick workout  with the kiddo.

Started with a really easy trail run at the dog park. On the way out of the place, a poor woman was trying to find her runaway dog. We ended up doing some unplanned hill work trying to help her wrangle the frightened thing! 

After that, Jude and I participated in a parent/child swim team practice. It's a new thing my son's swim coach is trying out. When I stopped training for triathlons last year, I also stopped doing time in the pool. Initially, I had some doubts about wanting to be lapped by 7 year olds. 

I'm glad to report that this practice will become a regular part of my weekly workout because lo and behold, all my run strength training paid off. I fell right back into it with relative ease. Jude worked harder in the pool than he ever has and I managed to keep up without shame. Bonus!
