Swam 1900M's solo.  Got on the trainer at lunch and just spun for 20 minutes and then stretched for half an hour. 

Just counting the time to April 19th at this point.

3 slow miles at 8:34 pace.

Light weights were done at lunch. 

Thinking on using Hal Higdon's Advance Marathon training to see if I can break 3 hours at Chicago.
