I packed up my gym bag this morning. Or let's be honest, I just revisited the dusty, moss on the north side gym bag and realised it didnt need much packing. So I carted it off in the car to the office. And much to my amazement I actually left work at a reasonable hour and headed to the gym. It was one of those moments where I didnt put much thought into it, I just got in the car and headed that way. Some days that does work best. And I did 9 reps of 4.
I think I have written about this before that the new gym doesnt actually have a 25 yard pool. It is something like 24 meters or something like that. So I am still working out the intricacy of the distances. But since it has been over a month since I have been in the water I was please with the 25 minute workout. I felt it for sure as I lugged the gym bag back out to the car and headed home.
I was also pleasantly surprised with the temperature of the water and the pool area. I was a little hesitant because those first few swims the water seemed a bit chilly. I was nervous that with the colder weather it would just be unbearable. Thankfully that was not the case.
I rested for bit in the sauna and then came on home. As is the case with me and swimming, I could potentially eat my way through the kitchen as a result of it. But I learned a while back to offset that craving with some protein and milk. So it was leftover WAHOO! asparagus and a glass of milk. The hunger has passed and now to make sure I get the stretching and rest I need for the workout.
OH - also need to unpack and repack the gym bag to do it all again tomorrow.
Bummer is I think I am down to one bathing suit after all the swimming this summer. Yes, it has really been that long that I have forgotten what made the cut a few weeks back and what has not.
Tomorrow maybe I'll give the indoor track a try as well.
