Felt like last weekend was an all warm and fuzzy weekend of training, but now its back to the grind. This morning especially was a morning where I woke up really not wanting to go for a run, but I knew I would beat myself up all day if I didn't get out there. And whats worse is that its still pitch black out @ 6:40 am. blaaaahhhh.....
BUT! I got my 4 miles in and I am DONE for the day. Just took it easy.
BUT! more importantly, I had a GREAT swim yesterday:
Swam 2650 yards @ lunch. My times are improving already! I was mixing long and short distances.
I did:
500U
5 x 100 on 2:00 (went min 1:41, max 1:43)
2 x 200 on 4:00 (went 3:3X, 3:3X)
1 x 400 on 8:00 (went 7:05)
2 x 200 on 4:00 (went 3:31, 3:29)
1 x 400 on finish easy
50 yards to get back and forth for the clock.
My confidence is every increasing in the water. I am still reminding myself that I am WAAAAAAY ahead of this time last year, where swimming 400 yards straight was a major deal. In fact, I feel like a different person in the pool.

I looked at the calendar, and December is half way over with already and I have ran 47 miles and change so far. I'm almost halfway done with my goal of running 100 miles in one month.
Do you have any goals for December? Besides over indulging in holiday food and drink? ;)
I am spending a lot of time in the pool as well (I'll be there 4x this week). My plan for December is to make it through the holiday with my sanity intact.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on pushing through the mental block, lesser people (aka me) would have stayed in bed. Good luck with your 100 mile goal!
