Been so hot here, and I have been more tired and lethargic than usual as a result. Yesterday's workout was missed. I planned to go to a spin class and everything, but left late, missed the start of the class, missed my train, and drove home. By the time I got home, I was so headachey and beat that I just wanted to eat dinner and call it a night. Oh well.
Tonight I got back on the wagon for some swimming. Swam for 45 minutes or so with Husband at the good pool. Hams and calves have been tight since running last weekend, but now they finally feel normal again. Also, they keep the water and the pool area pretty cool, so I feel like I finally got cooled down thoroughly, for the first time in 3-4 days. Even now, my arms are cool to the touch rather than the hot, heavy, slightly clammy heat I've been putting off the last few days. I swam 15 laps or so, probably 10 freestyle, with a few backstroke and drills thrown in. Swimming continues to improve - I try and slow down my breathing and now take breaths only every 4-5 strokes. Less breathing (which quickly devolves into gasping for air) makes the whole process more efficient. I feel good - like I worked my shoulders, stretched my legs, and realigned my back.
DEFINITELY need to do some open water swimming this weekend. The swim leg of the Mighty Hamptons tri is almost a mile, and it will be here before I know it.
