Today I woke up with a really bad sore throat/head cold...this puts a damper on my awesome training week. At 6:40 am I dragged myself out of bed only because Chris was already at the pool waiting for me. After gargling salt water, sucking on a couch drop, and sitting on my bed sniffling for ten minutes I finally shuffled through the snow to Fitrec and did a wimpy 1,600m swim. The combination of chlorine, goggles that don't fit, and flip turns made everything worse. I went to class and now it's one and I'm back in bed... From the looks of it Track tonight is going to be a no-go. But last night we had an awesome, really hard 3,200m swim workout. And I ran on the treadmill before that - all felt good. The day before that I did hill repeats on Summit Ave which is KILLER. My legs still feel like jello. But I'm getting speed back and it's awesome to feel bummed that I can't train. I took some dayquil, ate some oranges, and I'm drinking lots of fluids so hopefully ...
I like geography best because mountains & rivers know the secret: Pay no attention to boundaries.
