I'm tired. Ugh. Monday mornings are always rough, generally because I manage to break my sleeping schedule over the weekend. But I got into the pool on time to do my warmup, so yay?

Not much to say about this workout. I loved that 600 pull so much I wish I could do it every day. Pull buoy, never leave me. The 200 free fast was more like a 200 free flail (I think it ended up being 3:37 or something pathetic like that). I actually stopped at 50 and let JD pass me, because I was going so slow. Ugh. I think my big problem is I never recovered from those breathe every five stroke 50s I was doing, and I just ran out of gas.

The breath control later was better, though the last one was hard on my legs. Stupid greedy leg muscles, wanting more oxygen. It felt like a good way to end the workout, though.

I also managed to punch the lane line about four or five times today (three times in a row at the end of one lap - wtf?), and I've got a nice bruise to show for it already. Go me?

JD, btw, is an insane person. He did all his non-free as fly (I found out later this is because he can't back or breaststroke), did some extra fly when we were doing free drills, and then moved to lane two after practice was over and was doing laps and laps and laps of fly. I was doing my 200 back kick and he did at least that much fly, and was still doing it when I got out of the pool. It made my arms hurt just watching.

Oh, also, my knee held up fine during hockey last night. I wrapped it in an ace bandage below my normal brace and didn't have any issues at all. I actually had one of my better games, even. I felt like I was skating really well and making good passes/defensive plays, etc. We ended up tying, which was good considering we were down 0-2 for quite a while there.

Tonight is volleyball again. I'm wearing my badass brace, so hopefully I can get through that without destroying myself. Here's hoping.
