The time change almost got the best of me this morning, but I somehow convinced myself to get out of bed even though my body was telling me it was only 4:30 and I should still be somewhere about 30 miles north of dreamland. I'm glad I dragged myself out of bed. I had a great swim this morning. I was able to move on to the next workout in my routine. I did 1X400, 1X200, 4X100 and 4X50 for a total of 1,200 yards. I could have kept going at the end of the 400 but I knew I needed to hold something in reserve for the remaining reps. At this point, the biggest thing I have to fight in my swim workouts is the sheer boredom. With nothing to look at but the bottom of the pool the laps start to get quite monotonous. The good news is, I think I've gotten past the gasping for breath struggles. I can just relax and swim, lap after lap. I have no idea if my technique is good or bad, but I don't really care at this point. I don't have any strange aches or pains so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong to the point of injury. I'm sure I could swim more efficiently, but I'm just glad to be doing it for now.
Next up: A run in the dark in the morning. I'm hoping to increase my mileage to about 4.5 miles.
