A friday swim
The water temperature at this pool is just at the point where when you first slide in it is comfortable, but has a hint of coldness to it that just makes you have to psych yourself up to get moving. Takes me a couple minutes to convince myself I am doing the right thing here, ultimately though I haven't eaten yet and I know the sooner I am done in the water I can eat. Now that is motiviation!
I like this just taking it easy and getting in some meterage :) I was moving at a good clip in the water, but it is hard to tell when you have a bunch of old ladies around you doing their float-a-thon and you are doing 4 lengths of the pool to their 1. Have to give them credit though ... I hope I am still exercising when I am 80+.
6 x 150m with 1:15m rest
5 x 100m with 1:00m rest
4 x 50m with :45s rest
100m cooldown
1700m Total
Just a nice easy mile and I was off to grab some lunch at the homestead and down gallons of water. There is a 4 mile run coming up tomorrow morning. We will see if mixing in swimming like this continues to help out my running abilities.
