Notes/thoughts:
- Felt real tired today, wasn't too slow in reality given that, but it felt super sluggish. It was probably a lucky thing that the pace times were forgiving. It was one of those days where I couldn't keep the tired sounds inside of my mouth during practice. Sometimes I would touch the wall and the "bleeehhhhh" would just slip out of me. Same with riding home, there was one time when I crested over a hill and the "ugh" sound just sort of whooshed out of my mouth because I was winded. Honestly I was tired enough today that I wanted to get out about 800 into the warm up, but I just talked myself into taking it one repeat at a time. I told myself that I got credit for every lap I swam and that it was making me better, so I would try for another and another and another and eventually I got to the end of the workout.
- The sun coming up is so key to the ride home not feeling miserable.
- One definite thing I noticed today was the core weakness. My back was definitely more arched than it should've been because I had a hard time holding my body line in the water and it led to a bit of lower back soreness after practice. Nothing that lasted, but still. I haven't done core work in a while, I really need to get back on that.
Early gym sesh tomorrow morning and a run in the afternoon. Another long day of med school too. (Today was an 8:30 am to 6:00 pm day, a little bit rough.) Fingers crossed that I make it.
Much love,
Jess
