Today in a move of brilliant punctuality, I got up and ran before swim AND parked in the gym parking lot at 8:14 AM. This, despite the fact that I spilled my tea in the car seat without noticing and then sat in it, so that my rear end was all wet. I feel like I have really turned over a new leaf, and it is pretty thrilling. I got in 3700 meters and worked on all my strokes. Now my run was pretty pitiful. I don't even think it was three miles, and I was miserably overdressed because it just a lot warmer than I thought. The point of the run, however, is not the length or the temperature, but that I dragged myself out of the bed and hit the road before swim. The mere fact that I have done it once means that there is a long road of getting up early to run before swim ahead of me.
Swim Workout as follows:
- 400 free
- 400 kick
- 6 x 50 double arm backstroke drill

- 8 x 25 half fast/ half easy
- 4 x 25 fast

Such a great swim and it was all finished when I rolled back into the house mid-morning. Now, if I could get it together to do a Gilad workout after my run, but before I left for swim, I would be golden. That has happened for me once, and it is a brief shining moment in the history of my workouts. It has never happened again.
Tomorrow is Thursday and at the end of the day I plan to be finished painting. Just a couple of ceilings tomorrow and some trim touch ups. THEN, I can start the bathroom shower curtain sewing projects.
