6_26_07 Workout
Swim was "supposed" to be long - I woke up early, got to the gym early, going to do 50 or 60 laps. Started out with a good, easy pace, all was good till about lap 30 - and my calf muscles started talking to me (a product of my long workouts this weekend). Two more laps, and my calves were yelling at me, telling me that if I didnt' stop quickly, they would tie themselves into a knot that it would take me a week to undo. Tried pool walking, that didn't do it so I bagged it at 32 laps.
Jumped on the treadmill, did a little speed work - actually felt good. I hadn't been on a treadmill since, about December - and it was kinda fun to push the speed envelope for short distances. Did five sets with a 6.5 minute paces, then one at 6 minute and one at 5'30 second pace. Not a long distance, probably a tenth of a mile or two for each - but a good, high intensity workout.
I haven't lost site of that 6 minute mile I have been promising myself - just a soon as I recover from Vineman I am going to have to start working on that goal.
