Morning all!
So today I had a swim first thing before work. I got up a little earlier than normal and planned to do 50 lengths.
I had a "moment" on the scales this morning too ... they read a figure I wasn't expecting and I knew it was dehydration but it made me beam with joy. I can't remember the last time I saw 10st 8lb, it will be pre-Gnome though!
Anyway the scales moment inspired me in the pool. I decided to do as many lengths of front crawl in one go as I could and also to do more crawl than normal. This inturn lead to me swimming 1m (64 lengths). OK it was slower than normal (55:29) but I did manage 10 whole lengths of crawl in one go! Very happy!
bounces back in from munchtime run...
Well that went well! Fastest 5K this year, fastest 1m this year too! Longest run for almost 2mths too!!
I didn't plan to do it! I started off feeling really good and positive (the power of the scales stricks again!) and after the 1st mile I just thought, wonder how fast I can go, so did. Not all and all out eyes balls on stalks stuff but I was happy when the mile was up! Legs are shattered now but I felt that "running is hard"moment and was able to carry on which will be good for Reading.
No HRM as I chaffed yesterday so no idea how hard it was but didn't feel like I was blowing too much and I recovered fairly well after.
So all in all a great and positive training day!! [trots off beaming]
