Lazy 1 --- Swimming 0

There are few things in life that I hate worse than oversleeping. In fact, I can't think of anything at this moment that irritates me more. Can you guess why I didn't swim this morning? Yep, just didn't get up on time. There is a slightly more eventful back-story that would not interest anyone, and it is a little more exciting than a general "slept through my alarm" type thing, but the ultimate outcome is that I didn't get back in the water at my first opportunity because I'm a lazy dummy.

I'm going to do my best to chalk it up to "my body obviously needed rest more than another workout," and try not to be too hard on myself. I will be in the pool Friday morning. I will be in the pool Friday morning. I will be in the pool Friday morning.

*** Last night I ran 7.32 miles in 1:02:46 at an average pace of 8:34 min/mile. I did a little less than a 3.5 mile warm up, and then hit the track for 5X800/400, which went surprisingly well. It wasn't necessarily pretty, but I hit each interval faster than the one before.

I know I have been getting away from my nerdy Garmin numbers and specifics on this blog, so I have typed out some of the lap info from my workout last night. I have a lot more information about my workout (probably too much for me to benefit from), including a groovy heart rate chart showing all the great work I was doing, but unfortunately I don't have the technological skillz necessary to share it with anyone.

Lap #_____Distance (m)______Pace (min/m)
Lap 1_______1.00__________8:12 (warm up)
Lap 2_______1.00__________9:05 (warm up)
Lap 3_______1.00__________9:20 (warm up)
Lap 4________.44__________9:47 (warm up)
Lap 5________.51__________8:22 (interval 1)
Lap 6________.25__________9:14 (recovery)
Lap 7________.50__________7:33 (interval 2)
Lap 8________.25__________9:20 (recovery)
Lap 9________.50__________7:22 (interval 3)
Lap 10_______.25__________9:22 (recovery)
Lap 11_______.50__________7:18 (interval 4)
Lap 12_______.25__________9:35 (recovery)
Lap 13_______.50__________7:17 (interval 5)
Lap 14_______.36__________9:11 (cool down)

Bye.
