Day 1 again
Even though its Friday, and the work-week is over, this morning I realized that this is really Day 1 for me. Right now, as long as Thursdays are my off day, Friday is Day 1. I better be feeling rested and loose today, otherwise I’m in trouble for the week ahead! Fortunately, I do feel good today. I was a little tired this morning and it took me a little extra time to get out of bed, but luckily the weekend CAN cure that. I still did get up and get to the pool. I swam around 2,100 yards – a mix of drills, some fast intervals and long, easy sets. It was a nice, comfortable swim. After work, I picked Charlie up from daycare, dropped him off and went to the gym for my strength training. I did my three sets today, but I really burned through them. I’m sure that I would get more out of it if I took it a little easier, but something is always better than nothing. Three hard sessions ahead of me this weekend, including hopefully my first cold weather ride. It’s supposed to be pretty cold out there (low 40’s with some wind), but I’ve got pretty much all the gear I think I need, so let’s hope it goes well.
