7900 Yards
This morning I had the day off of work. Swim practice was from 5:30am to 7am, but about half way through the coach told me that I could stay for the entire workout if I wanted to. The masters team gets the kids workout, and sometimes I can finish it, but today it was extra long since the kids don’t have school. Today the workout was 7900 yards.
That is a little less than 4.5 miles. I swam the whole workout in about 2 hours, with my normal workout being right around 4,000 yards and taking a little over an hour.
It was a good workout, and I left tired but not exhausted. Or so I thought. All I have done today is lounge around the house, eat, drink and take a short nap. Now it is the day after Christmas, so I didn’t exactly expect to be running around all energetic, but I am in sloth mode. Slowly moving from one room to another, doing tasks that don’t take much physical effort.
Christmas Eve at practice, our coach asked what we asked Santa for. I told her that I asked for a 10k yard workout, and I think this was her way of granting my wish. I could have done another 2,000 yards, but it would have been rather slow, and probably would have wiped me out for the rest of the day.
As it is, I am moving my lifting from tonight to tomorrow, so I don’t kill myself.
Merry Christmas to me!
