I've never been so glad to be done with a swimming set in my life.

Yesterday in my fitness class we did lunges. I don't think I've done a lunge since I was a member of Pulse, and that's been at least three years ago. My quads and my glutes are killing me today. It hurts to walk up stairs. Hell, it hurts to walk period. So kicking this morning? Supreme pain. My dolphin kick was so bad as a result that my butterfly looked more like butterdie. And felt like it, too.

So much kicking, too. The hesitation drills are a ton of kicking, then those one arm sets make your legs compensate a little more and ugh. JD asked me how my legs were feeling before the 300 free and I said it felt like I was being stabbed by a hundred knives. I can't think of a more accurate way to describe the agony.

Speaking of JD, he told me that he was attempting to swim fly for half an hour straight on Monday. I told him my arms hurt just watching him, and he said that's the only reason to do it, for the pain. I can totally buy that. OW.

Oh, I timed one of my 50s of those 200 back sets and it looked like it was about 1:10, which isn't horrible I guess, considering the afore mentioned 100 knives thing my legs were doing and the fact that I have no turn whatsoever on backstroke. Evan timed us on our last 100 free and I got a 1:34 on it, which puts my 50s at about :47 (though I can pretty much guarantee my first 50 was a lot faster than my second). That's really not bad, especially at the end of practice. Improvement at the very least.

Of course I'm still planning to go to stroke clinic today, despite the fact that I'm walking around like someone punched me in both my thighs. I have a meeting at 1:30 today, though, so I might duck out a little early.
