Went for my second pool swim on Wednesday. Arrived bright and early and waited a couple mins for the doors to open at the pool. Did 800 yards. Focusing on form rather than just trying to put in distance. Geesh, swimming is so technique oriented. You can swim for miles and miles inefficiently, or at half the effort efficiently. Since I haven't swum regularly since my race last November, I'm trying to correct a lot of the inefficiencies/bad form I had before. It's not easy, but I'm remembering a few tips I've received in the past and I think those are making a difference so far. Just building up that muscle memory now. Doing drills to solidify certain aspects of the stroke so I can hopefully put it all together and not have to think about every movement so consiously, and just swim more naturally.
Later in the day yesterday I was scheduled for a long run, but I passed on it, and ended up just walking about 4 miles. The heat and humidity have got me feeling a bit woosy, and I didn't feel like pushing the matter. Walking was fine enough.
On tap for Thursday/today: bike to/from work then some kayaking...
