I can't believe it's already February.
I set up my bike on the trainer, in the basement, with the hope of doing a 1 hour bike then 1 hour run brick yesterday. When the snooze button got the best of me, I planned to do that today. I must have hit snooze in my sleep, as I even had a dream that I was late for something important. I finally woke up at 5:20 and thought I could at least get in a swim today (alarm was for 4:15). Maybe I can do the brick this weekend?
The pool water was so warm the lifeguard warned me, but I loved it. It felt great to swim in warm water. I noticed I swam 20 laps in 10 minutes, and swam a total of 38 laps in 25 minutes. But the last 4 laps I used the wall timer to check my 100 (yd). The last time I did this, about a month ago, I swam 4 laps in 2:05. Today, I swam 4 laps in 1:40. Nice improvement. I know the improvements won't be as dramatic as I get better, leveling off soon.
I feel like a bum for not doing that brick. There is a lecture by Eric Thomas where he talks about people holding themselves back from reaching success. Following his idea, yesterday and today my sleep was more important to me than my "success", or training on the bike. It's a great lecture, though he's a little unconventional, his stuff is great and right to the point.
Here's a link to his success video. His video about "Real Time" is also great.
