Due to a slow start this morning because of a mild headache, I had to fit my training in between work and dinner. After work I flew home to change and grab some clothes, fed the cats and much to their dismay, immediately left to hit the pool. I love the decision to switch to afternoon swim training because their are fewer people in the pool to share the lanes with. I managed to get half of my workout in before anyone else showed up.
Today was a moderate swim that consisted of an 800m swim, 800m pull, 300m kick and 100 swim to cool down. Everything went well until I made it to the kick portion. My kick is so weak that it takes me forever to go anywhere. Since there was no one at the pool the lifeguards were staring at me and I felt like an idiot. I rapidly turned around and grabbed a pair of fins to help out. It was cheating a little, but I still got the leg burn so I let it go.
After the swim, I changed and ran upstairs to the track for a nice 45 minute tempo run. I am not sure if it is mental or factual, but I believe my pace is picking up while still maintaining a low heart rate. Tonight's run was fantastic, because Kayleigh decided to join me as soon as she got off of work. There was also a roller hockey match being played on the court below to assist with taking the boredom out of running in small circles. With everything going on around me, the time went passed quickly.
