Glad That's Over

Day 13
Swimming
Mile intervals at a 9:26/mile pace

After taking three days off, it was really hard to get out of bed this morning. I woke up at 5:40, the time I usually leave to pick Christina up. I thought about just going back to sleep and begging forgiveness later, but I must be getting better because instead of turning off the alarm and turning my back to it, I rushed out of bed and grabbed my stuff. I was about 8 minutes late picking up Christina and I was praying she didn't give up on me. Luckily, she hadn't.

Swimming was fairly uneventful. Because we were 15 minutes later than usual, we found some open lanes. We added 5 laps to our routine and finished 20 laps in 24:22. Not too shabby considering neither one of us find swimming to be our strongest area. When we first started swimming it took us nearly a half hour to do 15 laps, so we must be improving.

At 9:00, we met at the track and preceded to do our mile intervals. They sucked! It was hot and four laps is a long ways around. We were able to keep under the 9:26 pace, but just barely.

Christina finished her three intervals in 9:15, 9:10, and 9:21. I finished mine in 9:15, 9:17, and 9:25.

We were both glad to have it done with though we're going to have to start going at an earlier time. It's getting to be too hot.
