62 times 2

SWIM:  2800y in 62 mins, sub8 400s

RUN: 7 mi in 62 mins, fartleks

Just now realized both sessions were 62 mins :)

I slept through my alarm and missed Masters. Once again I got a late start leaving the house but I did manage to get to work at 9! That's a good goal for this week-- get back into my normal schedule.

The swim was 3x400 swim pull swim. Then I added a 400 pull bilateral breathing. I wanted each 400 to at least be sub8 min but not really race pace. Just a "be pushing it" pace. The time were 7:58, 7:44, 7:59. Humph. I was hoping for better.

Spent a good deal of time trying to find that right hand catch. Also wondered if I should at least let CHG know I haven't given up on Masters! And let the YMCA know I don't want to pay the bill for the Saturday masters I can't attend this cycle! Oh and I'm finally caught up in my GTD challenge with 66-some miles. I've been behind since the injury.

The run was after work. I don't run as well after work but maybe after last weeks awesome brick run I should learn to bike first! My legs were heavy, stiff, and tight. I was dehydrated and a little under carbed. But after a 15 min WU I did fartleks until 5 miles. I like longer intervals, not short tree to tree ones so I do t quite do 5K speed. More like something in between 5 and 10K. But I got it done, came home, did grocery shopping, then kinda gorged on dates and cashews. Nuts. I set myself up for that one by getting so hungry and behind on nutrition. :(

Very tired tonight, just like I want to be. But my motivation for things outside of work and training is suffering. I just don't have the spare mental energy right now , there is so much going on! And I fear that although I spent most of Friday and today on a work presentation, I'm still not prepared :(

I need to get my life schedule back on track. It fell apart with the injury but that was a month ago. Time to get time back!

And get to bed!! It's after 10pm! Put the phone down!!
