Went to the pool today and decided to not try to push it too hard as I did a couple of times last week. I tried to keep my effort controlled so as to go just belowwhat it would take for my arms to hurt and my breathing to get too hard. I did just that and ended up swimming about 20 seconds faster than my fastest time last week. I would like to think in just 4 or 5 workouts my fitness has improved, but I just think I had a good day. Got on the wind-resistance bike next. I had only eaten a small bowl of cereal about 4 1/2 hours before the workout. So I kept it easier on the bike too. I did not want to bonk. All in all not a bad workout. Swim - 1000 yards - free/breast mix - alternate every 100 yards - 19:33.86 Wind-Resistance Bike - 10 miles - 35:45.30 Feels good to be exercising and blogging again. I was such a fool to stop all exercising for so long. |
