...but clearly it's time that I did so again: after a 25-minute swim followed by one and a half hours of water running, I actually put real shoes on and ran for 3 miles on the treadmill this morning! Foot felt fine afterwards, but I stopped then because that's the farthest I've run since my injury and I've promised myself to take it EASY adding distance and/or time to my land-running. Getting reinjured is SO not the plan at this point. I'd rather stop when I feel I can go on than be forced to stop because I can't.
So Yay Me is the message here, I guess. After a rather busy travel-related couple of weeks (both pleasant, so no complaints), I'm now back in one place for at least a little while, so can get back to regular training and ramp things up for HIM work. So far, so good-- I've swum twice this week already, with another swim planned for tomorrow and maybe one on Friday, too; I figure since I'll already be at the pool to continue water running for at least a little while, why not show up a bit earlier and actually SWIM? Seems to be working at the moment, even if today was ridiculously busy in the lap lanes. Ah well-- I tell myself that it's still NOTHING like the mass start of the swim in a race: I haven't been elbowed or kicked in the head yet!
On a more intriguing note, I have over $100 in dividend money from REI to spend (yes, that means I spent a ridiculous amount of money there last year). What to acquire...? Chances are I'll stop by there tomorrow night on my way home from work, as I know I'll be late getting out and thus will run smack dab into rush hour hideousness. Better to peel off when I can and spend some time browsing before braving the craziness to get home. We shall see: endless possibilities await!
gotta love thrashing around at the beginning of a race! haha Love your blog
