SWIM AND RUN DAY

Masters Swim:

Total: 2km in 1.5 hours

Excercises: finding sweet spot, working on endurance: freestyle/ choice swim (backstroke)

I watched some of the Total Immersion swimming video - and tried to practice that in my swim. I'm getting better at gliding and moving to my sweet spot with my belly button.

she wanted us to track our heart rate in the work-out and to never exceed 140... some 130. I counldn't seem to exceed 126.

Alright- c'est tous.

AFTERNOON MUSINGS:

Well- I just ran up the little hill from the boathouse to our house and i was trying to lightly kick up my heels like in Chi rRunning and guess what: NO PAIN! YES!! (i've made many arm pumps...)


A quotation that is on a running calendar in my room is sticking with me. "Don't let your Personal Best interupt or take precedence of your relationships." Wow... I'm glad I got that when i did. now that i'm committed, i feel myself taking a bit of a righteous perspective: like when a student is knocking at my window at midnight b/c they are locked out. I felt a bit sorry for myself ... you know- that whole "don't they know i'm training" in a whiny voice... But what the heck- i fell right back asleep. I get absorbed and hard core... and sometiimes the blinkers come on. I want to be grounded this year.

that's it.

(did i mention how excited I am about the marathon?!)
