SWIM 550 yards in ??, lots of rest, it totaled 20 mins or so
COMMUTE 9.2 miles
WOW!! I did it. Swim Swam Swum. Reminded me of the Redman t-shirt, so guess what I'm wearing today?!
Great morning, although once again I had trouble sleeping last night. After over an hour of trying to fall asleep I took a benedryl. Not a habit I want to get into again.
Another a bad habit is Azuc. Fell into it again last night, it didn't last much but it was the idea of it.
Anyway, on time to the pool where my parking spot was open and the spin classes were outside in the parking lot. They should do that all summer long. I thought it would be cool to join, but I'll take my TGP ride instead.
The new regulations at the YMCA aren't bad -- one way traffic entry/exit; wear a mask; BYO towel; reserve a lane to swim; put your stuff in a box at the pool deck check-in. I think some of these regs should stay in place.
Anton was there! My rez was for lane 1 7-745am. I was alone until another swimmer appeared at 7:20, she said she was late, and I realized it never occurred to me that I could be late.
I didn't have a swim plan, so I used the warm up from the dry erase board for the Master's. I used to have detailed plans -- see the image of sticker I found in my bag -- but today was just 6x25; 3x50, 1x150 ish. LOTS of rest and once my form suffered I stopped.
I was happy to see my shower stall. Happy to have water in my ear (totes forgot about that happening!). Happy to see some familiar faces in the Y. Wow. I did it!
When I got home, both of my two J-caterpillars were looking ready to' chrystalize', and one did before I left.
Change can be a struggle.

This was a post I left too early. I'm back after about 30 mins only.
Last night -- was doing good until I grabbed the pb2 from the truck and added azu to it, then more and more and more and ....some M, but what caused it? I really don't know. My gut was aching, swollen and pained (the half apple I tried? the oats? too much cocoa?) and you'd think that have a pained gut would stop wanting to eat more. But it wasn't a hunger it was more of a stress. Stress about...? I really don't know. It's like a snowball that grows and grows until its momentum rolling down a hill is unstoppable, and this happens.
I'm looking at races -- the MO Cowbell is a race I will otherwise miss and I found in a BRR email yesterday that I can sign up for the Full Chuck Virtual: 5K, 10K, 13.1M and 26.2M miles on your own time before 12-31-20. WHOA!! I looked at my training plan -- I'm already up to 10K runs, a 12 miler is schedule for around Oct 10th, and I don't hit full mary distance until mid-March (more on that below). But - since it's "miles whenever you can", I can do a marathon *week* which fits in the week starting Nov 2nd as a 3+2+7-10+4.2 (haha, 0.2, haha). So....yes....????!!!!
And for March, the Probility Marathon in AA is 3-21-21. I kept thinking it was Probablity, no just Pro-bility, it's a word play on something I didn't read. That week for me is planned to be 4+6+4-20+8. The 20+8 could become a 26.2? I will have to see how this goes, way too early. Also, March is early. Cold.
Sad kinda that I put the September Sacrifice image in yesterday then went home and found myself in Moria. Sad? Expected. Habit. This is something of value to me, apparently, and as JBP said:
"The idea is that you could sacrifice something of value, and that would have transcendent utility. that is by no means an unsophisticated idea. In fact, it might be the greatest idea that human beings ever came up with."
Sacrifice this thing of value. Transcend. Become what you are capable of becoming.
