I walked 2.5 mi to warm up; ran 12 with 2 x 15 min @ threshold pace, then got in the pool. Unfortunately I only had one gel - would’ve liked at least one more for something that long. Anyway, 3k for me to start the month. I will make a goal of 4-5 swims a week

I ran a 20 mi race on Sunday and my legs were still feeling tight from it. I did NOT expect to be able to run that threshold workout today… I didn’t expect to be able to run at all. I walked thinking that’s all I’d do, but my legs felt so light and loose after that I started running and lo and behold there’s 7:03 pace, threshold, ZING.
I don’t usually walk to warm up at all. I run slowly

Got home and realized I was using my dead shoes. Way to go rocket scientist!
Today is my 22nd birthday. I ran 22k and then got in the water. Welcome to Hypoglycemia, Population TIGERCHIK. Got out a bit early - I was going for 22 x 100 - I was just dangerously hypoglycemic. Am feeling better now.

Just signed up for my first go at this. My goal for April is my total meters since January, 08! A whopping 24,000. ha. I do passionately dislike swimming but have been busy swapping leg injuries so figured it was time to work on shoulder injuries.
I managed to do a couple of almost actual sets in my 2nd workout.
4 x 100 m on 2:00 1:27 ave
6 x 50 m on 1:00 :42 ave

I could feel some hope in the stroke . . . but the lungs might take a few weeks.

What I need is 1% of her enthusiasm for going to the pool. As soon as it becomes a choice between the ease of running out the door or driving 20 min to the pool and, yuck, getting into the water, it gets tough.

Take the monopoly approach.

Cut it out. I have been healthy and injury free for several months now. The lack of swimming on my part over the past couple months was weather, running, other lame excuses.
22 years of swimming and just plain being used to it. We write workouts on index cards, put them in a little baggie, and then have that to go by - but I can always remember them after (memory of pain
Can’t keep running splits in my head to save my life though unless I am doing an interval workout, like the miles. Ask me to just track splits for an easy 8 mi run I get woefully confused.
