Rest then swim, it worked

SWIM 1hr and 2700y, 30x50

YAY! I DID IT!! Typically when I delay the swim until the afternoon, it gets skipped. I come up with all sorts of excuses then don't swim. Today I overcame a list of excuses and did it!

First I said I needed to rest. I countered by realizing that if I rested from the morning swim Thursday through this afternoon swim, that'd be at least 24hrs 'off'. So that's not a bad plan.

Then I get home from work, hungry and tired. I decide to eat half of dinner, but countered that if I eat too much I'll just feel too full so swim. So I avoided that.

Then I wanted to run shopping errands. DH wasn't going to be home until late and I had a list of stores to visit. I countered that the stores will be available tomorrow, but tonight's swim has gotta be tonight.

I DID IT!! It was the same swim MS as one I did a few weeks ago: 30x50 as 1-10 descending, 11-20 as kick/sprint, and 21-30 as race pace. I didn't feel terribly fast but workouts like this go by fast.

This was the swim with the goofy woman doing push-up/dives back and forth in my lane, before moving the the adjacent lane to hang like a bat from the deck by hooking her knees over the edge. WTH?
