Swiming

Well, swimming hasn't been as dreaded as i had in mind. I'm actually in the middle ground in ability for the class which is good because we can move slow and i can really break the bad habits that i'm sure i have. I actually found myself looking forward to getting in the pool while i was at work. Class is very full though, i think we had 22 people there today, maybe even big enough to split us into two groups especially since monday we have to compete for lanes.

As far as the running, i ran in the bitter cold yesterday (1/13), it wasn't my coldest run that i've done but its by far the longest run i've done in the cold and wind. I found my feet getting cold and cramping up which was causing form problems and my shin bothering me a little. I got 4.5 miles done in 42:56 so i was pretty happy. Since its suppposed to be colder on thursday and wanting to do a soft run, i think i'll just sweat out the 54 laps on the 1/12 mile indoor track. I'll shoot for a faster pace, and maybe even push myself to try to get it in 40 min. we'll see.

The cold weather has led me to breaking down and getting a new battery for my car with fear of it not starting... it was really struggling today. Now if i can just get my garage door opener unit fixed, i'll be in good shape.

Tomoorow its 4.5 mile run (indoor) and an hour spin class.
