I got a long workout in this afternoon! It was 4,000 yards and I am feeling it now. I am amazed how every muscle in my body is still shaky. I feel good, just tired. I also realized that I prefer to swim on my own, rather than with a team or group. I can do whatever I want to. And have been surprising myself by really pushing myself and doing extra yardage. It makes me happy to swim again.
Here is what I came up with for today:
600 warm up
700 pull (tight legs down/relaxed back)
4x50 @:55
4x50 @:50
4x50 @:45
4x50 @:40
200 recovery (100 breast & 100 free)
3x100 @1:30
100 recovery
3x100 @1:25
100 recovery
3x100 @1:20
600 cool down (100 free/50 breast)
4,000 yards total
My pattern today was 600, 700, 800, 900 because that makes 1,000 yards. I was able to hold all the 50's under :35. The 100's were not as consistent, but I was about 1:11 to 1:12 on the first of each round, and about 1:13 to 1:14 on the rest of them. Boy were they hard, especially the last 3!
I got our Christmas tree set up last night. I think it looks beautiful! I am very excited about Christmas this year. I want to try to be ready early to eliminate holiday stress. That way I can enjoy it more.
