SWIM abt 30 mins and only 950y
I woke up and to my surprise wanted to swim. Already my body was hurting from yesterday -- calves, back up my upper hips, my back, surprisingly not my quads or hammies or any of the injuries I thought I'd racked up yesterday. I wasn't this sore after MiTi! But none of it is "injury sore", it's just sore. And I was damned tired, quite like I was after MiTi.
But I didn't do so well at the swim. I was slow to get in the water. I did 50y of the 200WU, and did the 4x100 drill sets, and did only a few rounds of 50's with the ankle band before switching over to the pull buoy. My back just didn't have the strength today to do ankle band work. By the time I climbed out of the pool, though, I was whole body shivering and miserable cold. SM was worried about me, hated to say that this is pretty typical for me :( I need to HTFU.
Later in the day, I did feel better, but no appetite. Could be the oversized, protein-powder based (YUCK, WTF?!) brekkie. I didn't get hungry again until 6pm!
Also later in the day I visited JP and P. I was so hesitant to go, not sure of what I'd say, worried I'd say something wrong, and feeling self-conscious. At one point I wanted to turn around and not go! But I did, and I'm glad I did. If it's hard for me, think about how hard it is for them -- living this, not just visiting it. I happily shared some of my pacer stories with them, feeling kinda guilty about how much fun I was having while he couldn't. I think it's normal to feel that? I think about them so much, I should quit just-thinking and visit more.
