Well that's what I feel like when I am in the pool with my jogger on!
Today I am hoping to get to the pool and be ready for 6 when the public swim starts .... quick warm up then 50mins jogging (pyramid style intervals) then a cool down so 1hr in total.
Will report back later!
Later ....
Well Gnome is poorly again so Daddy got to play nurse meaning I still got me swim!
I think I am turning into bear .... muttering under my breathe about "swimmers in full make-up, chattering and swimming sideways or stopping at the end/sides" got a bit annoyed today!!
Anyway 100m warm up and the 55mins of interval training a la pool! Bliddy hard work I must say! I was well exhausted! Glad I had my water too as I got quiet dry in the mouth. Intervals were followed by 150m cool down as the clock said GET OUT! I climbed out and stopped on the stairs to stretch my calves and soon realised I was parch seriously dry in the throat and it was catching in a coughy sort of way. Fortunately I had a couple of mouthfuls of water left.
So home to cook tea and tuck Gnome in bed. Now want a nice hot bath to float in and forget the world!
Oh for Caff ... health update. Well yes it's true I am not 100% but it's all above my neck so I would run (if I was running!) so can't see why I can't swim! Reading is (checks Fetch) 33days away! {gulps loudly and starts to quiver} So I need to stay as fit as possible! Oh and back to see fizzio about heel tomorrow, for some ultra sound (is that what it is??) and hopefully some good news about getting back on me feet soon!
Having established the lay of the pool I will be pool jogging Wednesday too then (assuming he is well!) splashing with Gnome Saturday and long swim Sunday! I'm really enjoying my swimming now!! I'm getting better at it too and that is really rewarding!! {smug grin}

Watch it missy!
I heard a new phrase a couple of days ago - "Glamour Swimmers" - for those peeps who insist on keeping their head out of the water so the make-up and hair doesn't get spoilt!
I had 2 of those glamour swimmers last night and they were really annoying me!!!
I can't stand swimming. Even less so when annoying people get in the way!
and I meant 'annoying people' as in kids throwing each other, people stopping and starting directly in front of you etc etc etc. Can't stand my local pool. Used to prefer the one at the gym but it was only 18m and they always over-chlorinated it which didn't help my skin in the right arm pit area.
