Swim

Got up this morning at 6:30, and I'm glad- this is sure to help me fall asleep at my regular times.

I noticed late late last night that my right hamstring was way tighter than the left one. This morning, my right quad was a bit tighter as well.

Went straight to get my glute' excercises done, and leg-lifts to build my inner thighs.

Then I got to the pool. for workout.

350 swim
3 drills:
- 2 x 25 streamline (switching sides)
- 4 x 25 catch up.
- 4 x 25 single handed stroke
6 x 100 I was much more "moderate" this time, yet I'm certain that my speed was as fast. Nice to be more relaxed.
10 x 25 kick
250: I opted out of the last 100- it was so strange, I could feel a bit of achiness in my SI joint just from swimming. BAH! I noticed that I was so tight- so I stretched and then did some hot-cold soaking before leaving. I've noticed that the greatest tightness is in my inner thigh of my right leg and my right glute. I'm just wondering why the cycling sets this off- and how I can avoid it. I've got Phys' on Friday- and will ask... I'd like to be looking at this in a more long-term manner. I wonder if it would be prudent to sign up for the New Balance 1/2, just so that I can have one more month for training... GAH! So frustrating. Last night at dinner I was celebrating the fact that I felt so limber. I know that I can get this right - I just wish I could control it or something. Enough of my ranting, time to prep' for next week.
