After work I got my back and neck adjusted- about 2 weeks too late honestly. I felt like a new lady! Also scheduled a 30 minute massage for Monday evening, right before we go to MEXICO! Ay ay ay!
We got up easy at 4:30am and I was in the pool by 5:35am (obviously had a hard time getting out the door). This was my first time to wear a swim cap! I had to order one for long hair and I still struggled.
Mostly I looked like an alien. I didn't wear it for the longest time because I didn't feel like I was 'good enough' to. Does that make sense? Like, people would see me *sleek as a seal* with my swim cap and goggles, but wonder why I was wearing water wingies and drinking all the pool water. The reason I put it on this morning is the pool was empty and I was feeling good. Hilarity ensued. Think Cone Heads. It took a few adjustments to figure out how to put it on but it only came off x1 in the water. I'll call it a win! (I accidentally typed wine instead of win. I think my subliminal messages are working their way out)
Today I kept with a simple routine, I would do the freestyle stroke, breathing to the R, down the lane, then switch to a backstroke to return. This kept me from being super exhausted but was able to keep moving. Over about 35 minutes I only needed one 5 minute break and during that I did squats and lunges in the water. I spluttered around a few times, but overall, things felt a lot smoother.
Since I don't have to leave for work until 8am today, I spent a few extra minutes in the hot tub and then the sauna.
Pre Fuel: Coffee and banana before the swim (I took my pills and they felt stuck, otherwise I could have skipped the nana).
Post Fuel: Coffee and oatmeal with chia seeds, raisins and a scoop of protein powder. (Although I really wanted a coke and crackers)
