so. as predicted, i was pissed this morning when i made myself get up to swim laps. i've gotten so used to biking. BUT, this cold weather shit is not cool when you are biking over a bridge.
i've decided to switch back to swimming in the mornings, and alternating biking/running at night if i don't have meeting. i'll still run sundays, and will probably bike more on saturdays. of course, there is always the hashes still.
i need to also alternate with weigh lifting again. b/c i have not swam in months, my muscles are out of balance. my arms have lost all endurance. my legs, butt and stomach are great. but, swimming will improve those even still. especially my stomach and my thighs. i didn't swim the full mile, but 2/3 of it. i probably could have done it, but i decided to go for the full as usual tomorrow. also, i think i will change up my routine. i need to slowly work towards swimming the full or at least 3/4 of it in freestyle. the trialthalon will require that i be able to take that much b/c it wil be an open water swim the the ocean. who knows that the weather will be like then...
even as i do these things, i wonder what the hell drives me to do them...? i'm simply nuts i think. if that's the case, i hope i'm nuts until i die...
