Bleh what a low momentum morning. And day.

SWIM 900 yards in about 20 mins, all drills

Ooh I miss Puppy. Normally I'd ride to the pool, ride to work, but then again I'm really tired for some reason today and although the walk to the truck doesn't sound fun either I'm not sure I'm up to a bike ride home.

Bleh. Woke up this way, slept in a little bit to around 6am and had a migraine aura right away. Which comes first -- the fatigue and fuzzy-brain feeling or the aura? They go together, one probably leads to another. Thankfully no other symptoms like the migraine or nausea.

I didn't get to the pool until almost 9am! I got stuck in the K with the M and the B and ugh, not bad, but the resistance to it wears on me. I know that it won't fix my fatigue. But my fatigue makes it easier to fall into the habit, like a cycle.

But I did get to the pool! The whole drive to the pool I kept trying to find a way out. I'd think, I can swim later cuz I'll have more time. Or, I'll swim over lunch. Ugh. Told myself just do 20 minutes. Just 20 minutes.

Once you get in the pool, 20 minutes cranks by and next thing I know it's 30 mins. Not so much today. Did the 6x50 easy, then 3x100 1arm-swim-1arm-swim with paddles, then 3x100 banded buoy. That's it. Since I was there late, the lap lanes collapsed at 9:30 for the bobbers and then there were 4 swimmers in my lane. This only works when everyone is a similar pace. I was behind an old guy who was slow and his toes damn near dragged on the pool floor.

So I'm telling myself, I can go after work and finish the 400 300 200 100 ladder and call the workout done.

The pool closes Friday for maintenance! I talked to Anton, they drain it Thursday night so tomorrow is my last swim there until the 19th. So all next week and weekend.  I've been stalking schedules of Carondelet, MidCo, and Kirkwood. I already know Carondelet is a sucky pool but it's the closest. MidCo the next best with up to 5 lanes. Kirkwood up to 3 lanes but far away.

I'm always frustrated when the pool closes right ahead of peak race season, but this one is particularly frustrating as I'm just establishing a swim habit! I have plans and goals! Not to mention a race (haven't registered yet but it's on the to do list) to get ready for. I gotta swim 300 yards, LOL, and I need work on my swim.

So I need a really good carrot to keep me going next week. Starting in 2 days on Friday.
