I am apparently running myself ragged again. Thursday, I went to swim practice, where we did LSD. No, no that. Long, slow distance. My favorite kind of swimming. Because it’s something I’m actually good at. Coach tried to help me with my form, and I think I have a better idea of what I should be doing. Whether or not I’m doing it is another question.
After practice, I stopped by a local pub for a friend’s Team Fight fundraiser, and after a burger and a beer, we all got way too engrossed in the claw machine that seemed to provide tens of turns per “play.” One dollar and six team-earned superballs later, I headed out.
Friday morning, I woke up when my phone rang with a call from the office. And it was a good thing I got a call. It was 11:30. Who knows what time I would have gotten up otherwise.
Spent Friday getting a few things done around the house and then spent more time sleeping. Saturday and Sunday were more productive, plus I got in a solid bike workout and a short run. Spinning my legs at a higher cadence is a lot of work! I managed to keep my cadence around 75, but I’m going to be working up to 85 or 90. I’ll get there, I suppose. And I hope this makes spinning up hills easier. A girl can dream, right?
But somehow, with all the sleep I got, I still woke up exhausted this morning. I blame last night’s rain storm. Or the fact that I have a whole lot of things to get done this week before heading out for back to back half marathons. And no, I still don’t think it’s a good idea.
