Guess who workout out today!? THIS GIRL! I got myself back in the groove and I feel better, alas! I decided to get in the pool for 55 minutes and see what I could do. I used an old workout from the Master Swim workout folder and picked some of the drills I wanted to work on. This particular workout was from March 5th, which was a hard workout so I just wanted some ideas for what to do, not that I planned to follow the workout exactly, but I just wanted to get my feet wet again, so to speak. I had not been in the pool since last Friday so I wasn't expecting to have fantastic endurance. I would actually like to add in a third day each week for swimming. On the other hand, where am I going to fit that in with all the bike and run workouts? I am looking forward to the summer where I will have some extra time in the mornings (and all day) to work on the area I am lacking in.
At 4:30, my "friend" from last week showed up and my first thought was, "If you try to give me feedback on my technique, I might give you a piece of my mind today!" I went as far as taking my rest breaks at the opposite end of the pool as him, because I just couldn't handle it. I had a particularly hard week at work and I felt like I was going to have no mercy for anyone who gave me lip. I finished my workout and jumped out of the pool before he could say something. One of my friends who is a swim instructor at the pool walked by and I made a quiet comment to her about the guy in the pool. The lifeguard came over when we stopped talking and asked "Is there a problem?" To which I simply told him that the guy gives unsolicited advise and left it at that. I'm not sure if the lifeguard is friends with Mr. Master Swimmer or what, but I was slightly annoyed the lifeguard even came over to ask what we were talking about.
Agh, whatever.
It's Friday and I am ready for the weekend. Tomorrow is a BRICK workout and I can't wait! The plan is to go to the Neuse River Greenway in Clayton and get in a good workout. The workout for tomorrow must be a cutback because I looked ahead and said, "Only a 40 minute ride and 20 minute run??" Oh well, lets BRICK!
Workout Summary:
Total Distance: 1250 yards
Total Time: 55:00 minutes
Today's Mantra: MOVE! Get out the way!
