Consistency pays...

Well I have had a pretty good week so far...I have made all my training sessions 100% or better.

Yesterday was a "rest" day and I took advantage, because even though I am NOT training at the level I was 3+ months ago, it is more than I was a week ago and it takes a toll. I was tired yesterday AND I had the beginnings of a bit of an injury. I think I either over stretched on Wednesday or I understretched all week. My right leg was feeling "pulled" and hurt like a bitch.

Thursday was a new breathrough for my swim. I hit 1400 meters as follows:

4 x 100 meters w/ 30 second rests
3 x 200 meters w/ 1 minute rests
1 x 300 meters w/ 2 minute rest
1 x 400 cool down

I was feeling so proud! I could have swum more and/or I could have swum longer sets. That's my big goal....swim uninterrupted longer sets. And I feel like I am on my way. I am also really loving swimming. WHO KNEW.

So today I was supposed to go outside and bike for an hour. Well it is pissing rain here again and I am not that strong-willed or dedicated. SO...I am going to head to the gym soon and squeeze in an hour on a stationary bike (maybe I will jump in the pool too).

BUT...my big lesson is to be/stay consistent and do something everyday (except, of course, on rest day).
