The last few days have been pretty eventful for me, Tuesday had me running a mile for time on the track. I ran to the track on my lunch break, and as I was doing my last strider before the effort, a bee stung me right between my nose and left eye. OW. I shrugged it off and ran my mile, which didn't go as well as I had hoped, but it was test to see where my fitness is at, so now I have a clear idea of what I need to do. It's Thursday now and the swelling is finally going down, but all of yesterday I had a difficult time even seeing out of the eye!
Yesterday morning I had an aerobic swim workout that wrapped up with a 100 yards for time. I swam 53.8 seconds from a push and I didn't even feel good during the aerobic part of the workout! Bryant said he wishes I "didn't feel good" more often. haha It's a blast to have my swim times coming down close to my best practice times from my swim team days on a fraction of the mileage.
I'm starting to transition into a bit more of a run focus in anticipation of cross country season, so I'm looking forward to my running times coming down as well, and cross country has to be my favorite sport next to triathlon, so bring on the mud!
Living the dream!
