It's hot today. Going up to 93 and humid. I've got 4 miles on the schedule today, which will probably be done in the air-conditioned gym, NOT outside. Maybe I'll swim. Or bike. Gym bag full of running & swimming stuff = options. Maybe I'll bike at lunch and swim after work? Now that would be pretty impressive for a Tuesday.
Bought some sporty stuff online yesterday. "Total Immersion" is a book on swimming which is often highly recommended. Although my swimming has improved, it has a long way to go.
Also bought a heart rate monitor watch. I had a cheapo sporty watch which had the ability to time laps & splits, etc.; but I never really got the hang of it, and it finally died anyway. The new watch will tell me my heart rate without the chest strap on other models I've seen which looks like a PIA. I'm thinking that if I focus on staying in a target heart rate range, rather than just finishing a certain number of miles or laps, I'll end up working a little harder and getting a little better.
