I had to get up yesterday morning at 5am to be in VT for a meeting. So I drove up, and after a 45 minute long meeting, it was time to head back. Yup, 7 hours of driving for a 45 minute meeting. Not the greatest time management, but I was more bothered by the senseless damage to the environment. A total waste of gas and an unnecessary release of green house gases.
My training was run 40 and then swim 1400. I made it home just in time for a run outside. My other option was to swim and then run on my enemy, "the treadmill." Outside it is.
On the run my hamstrings and quads were still tight. Man I really beat myself up at the half. It was around 20 degrees, but I was really enjoying it. The sun was setting, the air was crisp and I was happy to be out there. The wind picked up a few points, but other then that, it was a great run.
Off to the pool. I knew this was going to be a tough swim. One thing I realized is that sometimes I need to just go and swim and not analyze my every stroke. Ideally everything should come together and that has started happening.
Not yesterday. I have a poor kick in the swim and running 4 miles before does not help it. I was supposed to swim 1400 meters, and instead I cut it at 1250
I was completely beat and reinforcing bad habits. I really try and do the complete time/distance of every workout, but sometimes you are doing more damage then good. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
