what do we do we swim we swim

I woke up this morning and seriously considered taking a personal day. I'm not in court again until next week, and I just. wanted. to. sleep.
[I decided to go, figuring I should save some of my leave.]

I was a walking zombie all day [hope my boss isn't reading!]. Hours of s/b/r are taking their toll. On the way home I gave serious consideration to making today my rest day.. getting home, throwing on sweats and an old race tshirt, and going to sleep. for a long time.
but: I sucked it up - htfu and all of that - and schlepped to the pool.
glad I did, too: I had a great swim.

I normally average 2:00/ 100. tonight's swim:


3000.00 meters in 56m 52s// 01m 54s /100 meters [sweet average pace]

WU: 200
MS:
1,000 time trial> 18:17
pace> 1:50/100 !
500 pull with paddles.
2x: - 200 yd free w/ 20" rest - 150 yd free w/ 15" rest - 100 w/ 10" rest - 50 w/ 1' rest
CD: 300





thirty-one days. bring it!

  7. I was just thinking this morning - boy I feel like I sleep all the time. I don't really but rest has taken on a whole new dimension in these last long weeks of training and getting up early is a bit harder than it used to be. Hang in there - we're almost to the turning point!!!
