Tuesdays are pretty long workouts.
Today I was scheduled to do an hour run and a long swim of 3500 meters.
I did the run right after work. The weather was bad, blowing snow and I was forced to run on the road which was all snow. At times I was worried I'd slide into a car.
On the run I had to take my glasses off because they got fogged up. Then when I hit the turnaround point I started running directly into the wind and the snow was hard and blowing into my eyes like a sandblaster.
I had no choice but to put the glasses back on, I just couldn't open my eyes without them. I still couldn't see well, but it was the lesser of two evils.
Other than the weather, the run was good. My body felt good, my heart rate was in the 126 range for the entire run. It felt effortless and enjoyable at a 10:10 minute mile, it was like running in thick sand.
After dinner I went to the pool for my swim, but the pool wasn't open. It turned out that someone "fouled" the pool and they had to shut it down for 24 hours. They said it was not something solid. I could only imagine what it was. Yuck!
So I need to improvise and do my long swim in the early morning tomorrow. I also needed to find a different pool for tomorrows swim. I just couldn't see myself swimming in that "fouled" pool for a few days.
I know they say it will be okay to swim in the pool in 24 hours, but I need more time to feel comfortable that everything is back to normal. After all, water does get in my mouth when I swim.
So for the rest of the night I'm just going to relax and watch some TV and hang out with the family.
