Easier than Tuesday. I figure I’ll be back to normal fitness by the end of next week. Hopefully. The running is still hard, though. But the swimming was much easier. NEED a swim shirt.

Golly, still feeling less than amazing. But did the laps (very slowly) and struggled up the hill on the ride home. I figure if I just push through, doing my usual exercise I’ll eventually get back up to speed.

Still feeling tired. In fact, kind of struggled the last couple of laps. In that I kind of swam slowly and without enthusiasm.
Also: too much sun.

I have GOT to stop swimming in the middle of the day.
Also, a pool full of primary schoolers learning to swim is very distracting.

Managed to squeeze in a quick swim. Felt some tightness in my left hip, but otherwise ok. Major storm clouds overhead and a cold wind.

Yesterday was hot, today was COLD and it finally stopped raining long enough for me to get to the pool.
I swam a bit faster and got in two extra laps. I could have done two more in the 30mins but there were 3 million primary schoolers about to start their lessons. My backstroke is improving, and I finally figured out that my hand is really important to freestyle.
I <3 swimming, it undoes all my muscles knots and aches.

I felt quite fatigued, and I thought it was because of dance work last night and having less than 12 hours between blocks of exercise. But I managed to swim faster than usual, which is odd. Oh well. It’s definitely getting bright out there during the day – I need to get a rashy STAT as I’m getting tan lines.
I love swimming because it stretches out my sore muscles, especially my psoas, which are my new Challenge Muscle(s). Massage eased it last night, but the night before I’d had trouble sleeping when I rolled onto my side. Need to add a new stretch for it to my regular stretches.
Still wear my goggles too tight.

Usual commute to the pool and home. Kicked my ARSE on the hill on the way home because swimming really tired me out today.
stretches
duration: 1.00, effort 2/5 feeling great
3xstretches 01:00
My usual lot of stretches take 20mins all up, and I do them three times a day without fail. They include: four foot exercises (1×12 of each); 1 hamstring stretch (2×12); 2 knee exercises (2×12 and 1min hold); 2 ITB exercises (1×12 of each); 1x core thing (1×12).
I’m thinking of adding another core strengthener and a psoas stretch
to the shops!

Next time I’m having breakfast before I swim. Riding home then grocery shopping; first time I’ve ever felt faint from hunger. Think I might need to push it a bit harder, as I’m kind of dawdling up and down the lanes. Which is nice.
