Well….made it through the week! But I didn’t get as many workouts in as I had hoped (which was mostly due to the fact that I had a trial this week and ended up working about 50 hours!).
Since I missed a few days writing, here’s the recap:
Wednesday, I met with an athlete for a personal training session at 5:30 am…so no swimming that morning. In the evening I had my massage (which was pretty painful this time) so no swimming in the evening.
Thursday was trial day, so I let myself “sleep in” until 5:30 (that is sick and wrong to call that sleeping in, I know!) and after an 11 hour day at work, I was too wiped out when I got home to get a swim in that evening.
And that brings us to today….I let myself sleep until the last possible moment this morning (7:15) to get to work by 8. When my 4 am alarm went off I tried to get up, but I didn’t feel well (stuffed up, sore throat)…so I thought rather than risk that turning into a head cold, I would try and get some more sleep. Being stressed out and run down is the perfect environment to get sick….and the swim is close enough that I can’t risk that.
Today I put in an 8-5 with no lunch break, but even though going to swim was the LAST thing I wanted to do once I got home, I made it to the Summit and got in a 5000 yard practice. Immediately after hopping in the pool, I was glad I got myself there. It was a very good practice.
Since I missed several of my planned practices this week, I’m looking at a pretty intense weekend of practices (9,000 on Saturday and 17,000 on Sunday). BUT after that, my best friend Erika flies in from Alaska for a weeklong visit on Sunday night, which will be an excellent reward!!!!
I hope you all are doing well! Thanks for reading and good night!
