Short run+another "nice" swim January 17, 2006

Damn I had a long day at school today, just couldn't wait for it to end. I got home a little later than usual because we had to take a class picture. 4:30pm, I get home, change clothes, go for a run without my watch. I just can't remember where I put it. I went for 5km. After that, a swim.

The run: It took me about 25min and it felt pretty good out there. Not too slow, not too fast. No pain in the left knee and no cramps which I was afraid of after all the slacking out. I didn't wanna go too long because I had to study a bit and didn't wanna get any cramps in the pool, speed training, YIKES!!!

The swim: Swam a total of 3500m. 400m warm up, 1000m TT and the rest was speed training. Some stuff like 200m sprints, 50m sprints and kicking my a** off with the kickboard. My 1000m was another slow one, 19:46. Next time, I think I'll do 18:30 or something, definitely possible, it's all in the mind…I think I'm finally getting the hang of diving in the pool but here's one problem, a lot of air invades my swim pants and it feels weird, hehe. Wonder what it's gonna be like tomorrow.

Tomorrow: If I wake up early enough, I'll go for a short hill climb on the bike and after school, I'll run another 5km, study and go for a swim.
