Today I threw the sets out the window. I had a planned 4000 yard workout to do, and I said "F" it! I've grown so sick of doing this set, and that drill, and blah blah. I just couldn't do it today.
I absolutely love swimming. I really do-it's just too bad I suck at it right now. I'm excited to work hard this fall/winter at correcting my weakness with a good coach, but for right now, I just needed to get in the water and swim.
So after a decent warm up, I just swam-and swam, and swam. I didn't really worry about yardage, sets, or anything much more than form and feeling good throughout the workout. I mixed in a few 25 yard kick lengths, but other than that, it was just moving in the water for an hour and a half non stop.
I feel energized from this workout and am happy I did it. Would my coach be happy about it? I don't know, but I imagine he would be. Training's gotta be fun right?
This is our new blog detailing our daily adventures, mountain bike racing, endurance sports, and maybe even some cooking (that's Anne's domain!). We will share our experiences with life, training, and most importantly, being a team-both in marriage and in our sport.
