Some day's time flies...

It's strange, some day's when I wake up time goes slow, I look at the clock, watch TV or read the paper and then look back at the clock and very little time has pasted. Other days it's the opposite and time moves quickly. Today was one of those days when time was moving fast from the moment I got up. I kind of like these days because work and training flies by. Of course I love to have time move quickly during the week and slowly on the weekend, but unfortunately it doesn't work out that way. 

Work did go by quickly, by the time I looked at the clock it was 5:15 pm. By the time I got home it was 6 pm and I needed to eat quickly and get to the YMCA by 7 pm in order to give me enough time to do all my training. I was looking forward to tonight's training because I knew it would seem to go by quickly and it did. I really noticed that my legs are much stronger than they were a few weeks ago, which is a good thing. My swim was strange. I started off strong at around a 1:45 per 100 on the warm up and then I couldn't hold under a 2 minute 100 by the half way point. I just didn't have any strength. It was a very enjoyable swim, except I couldn't go hard. It was like I "phoned the workout in". The last 100 I went as hard as I could and only did a 1:55. I did notice that my left calf seemed to be on the verge of cramping again, so I used that as an excuse to not feel back about going slow. I think my calf was tender from the aggressive bike ride yesterday. All and all, I really enjoyed tonight's training. I'm not sure if I benefited from it, but I did enjoy it.
