4:45 AM!! That's what time the alarm went off this morning! No matter how dedicated you are, that is just too early. That is what time we get up when Meg works out in the morning. So, we were both on the bike this morning. I did an hour and 20 minutes and was doing 5 minute intervals with 5 minutes rest. The beginning was a struggle to get the rpm's high, but eventually got better. HR was up during the intervals though, so mission accomplished.
Then it was off to the pool and day 3 of swim week. I was by myself as Meg had to be at work. So, I did my usually 1000m warm up and then decided to do a mile swim. During the warm up, I kept smelling this very strong aroma. Every time I would take a breath I would get a wiff of something that smelled so good. It took me awhile to figure it out, but I eventually noticed that the lifeguard was enjoying a warm bowl of Vegetable Beef Stew. I was so happy when he finally finished and the smell went away, it was making me hungry.
In the mile I wasn't trying to go all out, just wanted to maintain a good pace and see how it felt. I went through 800m at 14:31 feeling good. As I got to 300m left, I started to pick it up a little. I did the second 800m in 14:24, which was slower than I thought it was going to be. Final time was 28:55, which I am okay with. Gives me a good place to start from and see how much I can improve.
Today is going to be a long one. I plan to lift after work and then a basketball game at 9 pm. Looking forward to some sleep.
