Well, here it is.
Day 2 into swim camp and my shoulders already feel like hell. Especially my right one. Yeah, I know this is because my right side STILL isn't really right form-wise. grrr. I blame the flute. I think I blame the flute for most things these days...but...this one might just be valid. You don't play the flute straight on, you know? You're twisted a bit to the left side. So, my right shoulder is perpetually more forward...how could that NOT mess up my swimming form?
So anyway...back to my complaining. Yeah, so my shoulders hurt and so does my arch in my foot...which has hurt in the past, but not from swimming. That's usually a running thing, but my running has been pretty low volume lately, so I don't know what's up. This swim camp thing isn't all it's cracked up to be. I better be FREAKING FAST when it's over. 14 workouts in 14 days. (2 Saturdays off, but 2 workouts on the second Tuesday and Thursday) ack!
I still have to do the running/biking stuff that I'm supposed to be doing, but I'm going to go with the low end of the options (4m when the schedule says 4-6m and so on)...
Anyway. Enough about that stuff.
I'm tired.
I know I said I wouldn't sleep after getting up early to exercise...but how am I supposed to function when I feel like a zombie. Wouldn't it be better to just get a bit of sleep and then have the rest of the day to operate on a higher level?? Is this just rationalization? It's pretty convincing, if it is. My electric blanket is on, and my bed just seems SO tempting...

Don't do it! Stay Awake!
:)...blame the flute... I use to be a flute player myself...oh back in jr high.
Do u ever think of playing the flute as lung exercise? See how much air you can hold?
cliff--
definitely! every day...the lungs/diaphragm are just another muscle that has to be trained to get bigger...if you don't make it hurt a little bit, there won't be any growth...
Hey!
I say, nap away...but I love sleep. I know I don't get enough!
I'm in the 8am wave Sunday....EARLY--speaking of not sleeping! ha ha
Mmmm... Praise for the long-nap. Life is so much better with a comfy bed and an electric blanket. Especially here in my neck of the Northeastern woods.
well, i looked into the price of kraft mac in da Republic... it's coming it around 99 cents a box ... and, you know, i could sponsor an entire third world family for a day with that kinda money...
but, with the concession on pieces vs scales, you've definitely upped your odds...
