It rained all weekend and I felt sorely behind on workouts when I woke up. I've been pretty good about working out every other day for the last week or so, but normally I can do about 5-6 workouts a week.
Since it's a holiday, I hit the gym a little later than usual, maybe 9:50a or so. It was totally empty when I got in. My plan was to just do 1000 meters so I could do another sport later. (Also, we had a ton to do around the house too.)
After about 10 minutes in the pool alone, the place started to boom! By the time I got out, it was more full than I'd ever seen it and two guys were sharing a lane.
Things I observed and learned today.
1. I love to do the breaststroke. But I am very, very, very slow. How slow you ask?
Well, there was an older gentleman doing some water running in the lane next to me.
He sped right past me.
*take that, ego!*
Either I need to speed the HELLokitty up, or get stronger with my freestyle
2. I'm getting faster! I did my 1000 meters in about 25 minutes today! Woo!
3. Short hair- waaaaaay easier to get into a swim cap. Waaaaaay easier.
Oh, yeah, BTW- I donated 10 inches of hair on Friday! Yes, it's still weird.
Oh, something new, I wore my sports bra to swim in for the first time, since eventually that will become normal. It wasn't a bad experience by any means, but logistically, I didn't really plan it out. For some reason I was thinking I could wear the same sports bra for both a swim and a run. (which yes, you could.) But I didn't factor in the fact that I wouldn't be going straight from the pool to my next sport. My subconscious thought I would just hang around in a wet sports bra for a few hours? I have no clue. This is what happens when I try to do the planning before the coffee hits.
Post swim, we staged the house for photos so we can finally get our AirBnB up! Staging meant a full deep clean and arranging things nicely.
Once that was done, I hoped on the bike for an hour while Raz had a business call. Normally, I would listen to my audiobook and stare out the window, but since I moved into the back room with zero view (other than the side of the neighbors house), I had to learn how to use Netflix on my computer. Well, I know how to, what I mean is I had to learn how to use Raz's blue tooth headphones to hear it. The trainer is so danged loud, you practically have to shout over it. Anywhoodle, bluetooth headphones for the win! I watched the first episode of Black Mirror while sweating away!
I worked harder on keeping my heart rate above 130 during the hour long session and man, I could tell a difference!
Tonight is whisky, ribs, and scrabble!
