ever had that dream where you leave the house with no pants on? i can’t say that i have either. BUT, i do have a weird sensation every time i get in the pool that i somehow didn’t take my panties (hahahaha, that WORD) or bra or one or the other off before suiting up. and i get so EMBARRASED! i come to this realization as i’m already swimming usually. so, i try to just pretend that everything is normal while i walk myself through the five minutes before when i remember putting my undies and bra specifically in my gym bag before grabbing my goggles, cap and water bottle to head to the pool. then i calm down and laugh at myself.
then i do it all over again the next time around.
i missed my saturday workout. hungover. i HATE that. i may never actually learn not to do that. but it was a productive and fun day nonetheless so i try not to fret too hard. the workout wasn’t a big one (30 min run), so i didn’t waste any time beating myself up over it. but i did get a little bummed that i missed a great barefoot run! sunday was a mini brick of 30 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes in the water. yesterday i hopped in the pool for about 45 min. and today i had a wicked awesome spin class followed by a few easy miles on the treadmill watching the world cup. i’m really trying to never just end with spin these days, even if its only a few miles, i want to be getting at least an hour of mixed cardio in on those days. i schedule weights, but those haven’t been happening, just takes too much time. i need to reevaluate where my strength days will actually fall. i like to lift after i run or ride. i might just need to get to the gym a second time a few days a week, even if just for 20-30 minutes. this could be a good thing to do during those really busy hours. lines don’t really exist with weights, you can always just do something else so the crowds don’t bug me as much.
i want to go back to the pool for a second (wow, i have a lot of rambling to get out today). the pool at my gym is just dumb. 22 yards? how random is that? i absolutely think it could have been extended a few yards in either direction to make it a standard size (25 or 50 yards…or meters for that matter). but 22? really god damned annoying. so i have been counting in laps instead of yards or meters and its really really bazaar to retrain your mind to do that after DECADES of doing it another way. oh well.
