Tonight's theme ended up being the number "2". As always on Tuesday, I started off in the pool for my swim. It had been a few days since I swam last so as always, it was a bit tough to get started. I swam two 50-yard intervals to get going and then stepped it up to two 100-yard intervals. In an effort to work on swimming longer distances since the race is next week, I then swam two 200-yard intervals, followed by two 400-yard (quarter mile) intervals. I felt very good during these longer distances and was confident after each one that I could have kept swimming, if necessary. In an effort to hit the 1600-yard mark (race distance), I cooled down with a 100-yard swim. All in all, I was feeling pretty good.
My plan was to get right on the treadmill to test out my run. After being so sore last week, I really limited (basically cut out) my running workouts so I could focus on other events. I was going to continue with my two minute run/two minute walk intervals since that seemed to work well for my knee last week. However, I was distracted by two friends that happened to stop by my house and were calling/texting to tell me to come home and visit. It had been a while since I had seen them so unfortunately, I was easily convinced to leave. In retrospect, I wish I had stayed but at least I spared my knee some pain for another day!
