My watch beeped at 4:45 a.m. letting me know it was time to get going to the pool. It was a little bit of a challenge getting out of bed, but not for lack of willingness or excitement. I've been looking forward to my morning swim workouts and was excited to get going. In fact, I woke up at 3:30 a.m. ready to go. Of course this was no good because I needed sleep. It took a while, but I managed to get back to sleep. In fact, ultimately, I fell into a deep sleep, but this caused me to reach for my beeping watch a little groggier than when I woke up naturally. Anyway...I was at the pool by 5:15.
This morning I became a little more proficient with my bilateral breathing. I never expected to be able to be completely comfortable with bilateral breathing overnight, but I will say that it is coming faster than I expected. Having said that, I still have work to do.
This morning I managed the fingertip drag drill, which I couldn't do previously because I was so focused on breathing. This is a sure sign of progress.
I don't usually swim on consecutive days, but I will likely go to the pool again tomorrow because it will be closed the rest of the week. Then I go in next Tuesday to learn some more good swimming from Coach Jodi.
I was going to run right when I got back from the pool, but I decided to wait for it to be light out. It's a safer this way and my schedule isn't requiring me to rush so, I'll be heading out in about an hour. My Achilles felt fine this morning getting out of bed and my fingers are crossed that I'll have a fine running experience as well.
Peace,
