Monday's Swim/Run

SWIM: 1750y 50 mins 2x200 main set. Although I don't normally swim 2 days in a row, I didn't feel the previous days swim at all. I love this pool, with the sunshine coming through the windows. I focused on an even pace while swimming. The last 200 was weak compared to the first, but all I needed was a brief rest to get form back. I need to work on my endurance in swimming.

RUN:5mi, 45 mins 2x1600 @ 7:30 on a treadmill. Yeah, I swore I wouldn't treadmill but I had 3 good reasons: just swam so wet, just swam and popped right ankle, and sidewalks weren't clear yet, and wanted to do controlled intervals. OK, 4 reasons. The 1 mile intervals were pretty easy especially after I warmed up (>20mins) and I sped up a bit more. No problems at all with the ankles! They just hurt when I overextend.

I'm sticking so far to my healthier goals and keeping even energy levels. No soreness or fatigue yet, but my lungs and back of my throat hurt a bit--dry air maybe?

NEXT: I'm bikeless, so just a swim. Keep it easy so as not to push the 3 days in a row of swimming I'm doing. Bike for a bit on the stationary?
