Soooooooo I was supposed to wake up at 6am this morning, run for 40 minutes, then go to work. Unfortunately, due to my late night bike workout last night, even my thumb tacks on my snooze button couldn't keep me from sleeping the extra hour. FAIL. Technically the goal of this week is "to get accustomed to my new schedule" so I'll take this as a minor bump in the road.
I'm writing fresh from my evening (aka 9pm) swim workout. I still smell like chlorine and everything. And as I got home, I realized I was just entirely too tired to go run for 40 minutes. On top of that, I have a paper I need to write. I've decided the reasonable solution is to double up tomorrow and do both a run and a bike workout. I can probably accomplish both the bike and the run in the morning because I have nowhere to be until 2pm but I may still be in the process of writing a paper, in which case I'll bike in the morning and run at night when I get home from coaching field hockey (the team I coach is going to the National Indoor Tournament this weekend! So Exciting!!!) at around 9:30pm. The only drawback there is I might also be running early in the morning so the small spacing between run workouts may not be a good idea. But then again, I don't know, I'm not really an expert at this stuff.
Anyway, the swim workout was great. It was a set with a total of 1800 yards, which is 72 laps, or a mile. I've been a swimmer my whole life so these first couple of weeks of swim workouts don't seem too challenging. I'm considering training for the swim at a higher level. Right now, I'm at a level 7 out of 10 for each discipline right now and I'd like to move up for the swim but I'm reluctant because levels 8-10 are those which I previously labeled "too hardcore for me." I think I'll wait until I'm at least two weeks in to decide if I need to increase the intensity of my swim workouts.
Now I need to stop writing this and write my paper! Goodnight!
