Another day another 2km...

OMG...it's been days since I posted and so much has happened.

Biggest news: Thursday of last week I was feeling guilty for not doing my regularly scheduled swim on the previous Monday. So I had a little spare time in the mid-day and thought: "I will go in for a few minutes and swim...just to get ready for the class tonight."

WELL...famous last words. lol

Needless to say, I went in and swam...but for over 1km...but what's even more exciting was that I did it consecutively and almost without rest or at most, short 10-second rests. 40 lengths almost non-stop and with relative ease!

THIS WAS A TOTAL BREAKTHROUGH for me and my swimming!!!

However, what I didn't think about was that I had a one hour swim class that night with my coach pushing me to do crazy drills and super sets. When I told her that I had swum earlier in the day for 1km...she said "that's great...that means you will have swam for 2km's today..." like it was no big thing. Needless to say, it was a BIG thing and I almost collapsed by the end. lol BUT I MADE IT.

Next day, though, I was pooped. And my arms/shoulders were hurting. I ended up sleeping in and missing my 7am bike spinning class! :(

Then the weekend was a total write-off because of full-day course on Saturday and a cold on Sunday. The cold is still persisting, so I decided against trying to swim yesterday. BUT I am happy to report that I made it in this morning for my 2-hour spin on the computrainer. (My coach also told me that the computrainer is more intense than biking outdoors, so 2-hours is more like 3-hours...that might explain why my butt is still sore!)
