Tuesday swim, gotta kick a little

SWIM: 1750y 49 mins, 2x600 intervals. Plan said to do 1st 600 swimming and 2nd 600 pulling, I didn't have a pull buoy so I did no kicking on the first and kicking on the 2nd. I was definitely faster on the second 600. My hips were higher and I didn't rely so much on my arms for propulsion. My arms wore out in the first interval, I actually debated whether I should do the second one! Part of my mind tried to say "but my form will suffer, it's not worth it" and the other part said "oh suck it up". In the end, the fatigue wasn't there in the second interval. So maybe one goal for an upcoming swim lesson is to review the best kick technique for me.

NEXT: A run, either a 5 miler or my long run of 10-12 miles. Maybe the canal path?
