Notes:

  • My busy week last week left me really tired for this week! Hopefully I’ll be back at it on Monday!
  • I was able to do freestyle for my entire swim on Friday and Sunday, woot woot! I think swimming at least two times a week will allow me to continue improving.
  • That 5K left my legs TRASHED! Ouch! I am going to email my massage therapist while I’m thinking of it.
  • I was SO mad about how muggy it was during my Sunday run. It’s the freaking middle of October! I’m f*cking over it! And after I was so pissed at that, I saw that during the few minutes I was gone for my run, some a-hole dumped a television on the street by my house. Grr.
  • But my swim after the run calmed me. Swimming really forces me to focus and relax on what I am doing, which is why I love to do it (even though I am not that good and have no plans to do a triathlon).

    I am so with you on being OVER this heat and humidity. We’ve suffered long enough – it’s time for a break with the summer weather!

    • kilax says:

      Yes! I was thinking about you during my run on Sunday and how you wrote that post that you were enjoying running again… just to have THIS happen! I was seriously more pissed on Sunday about the weather than I was during any run this summer! And it was even warmer here yesterday. Blah.

    UGH yesterday’s weather annoyed me too. I was going to go for a run but downgraded to a long walk because it was so gross. Glad you could swim after to cool off 🙂

    That’s interesting about the swimming being able to calm you. That makes sense that you love to do it when it has that effect 🙂

    • kilax says:

      Yeah! I am happy it does! I am so unskilled that I really have to focus so I don’t breathe in water, and I think it’s one of the rare instances where I am only thinking about one thing!
