No Limits Day 4

I’ve been waiting for Com’s daily post on this so my OCD could rest and I could write this down. You’re slacking, Com! ;) I guess I’ll just post it here instead.

Apparently, Monday was somewhat of a fluke. I got up to swim this morning and while it wasn’t great, it wasn’t nearly as terrible as it was Monday. Maybe it was just an off day? Anyway, in the spirit of keeping things easy and just adapting to getting moving again, I swam for a short 45 minutes today. Lots of drills mixed into the sets today. I think I ended up just shy of 2,000 yards. Hopefully, I’ll be back to at least an hour by next week.

This afternoon I did my longest run of the year. I didn’t bring the Garmin so I don’t know exactly how far it was, but it was somewhere between 5 and 5.5 miles. Nothing huge by any means, but with no knee pain and just getting back into the program, I’ll take it! I took it nice and easy going out and was feeling good at the turn around so picked it up a bit on the way back. I ended up negative splitting the second half by about a minute and a half and was pretty happy about that. My pace is still a long way off from where it was before, but at least my workouts have stopped feeling like possible heart attacks. I’m back in the place where it’s less like work and more like fun again. What a great place to be! :)

  1. Funny…after some mandatory time off for me, training HAS become fun again! Maybe I needed that little break! (You too?)

  3. There is nothing wrong with only running 5.5 miles! Consider that 99.9% of the US population can’t run 1-mile without stopping to give you some perspective. You’re just coming back into it so don’t sweat it and keep up the training.
