Today I started my day off with a swim test... I thought to myself ok, I will get this swim done and checked off the list today as I really wanted to try and get my long run in as well since tomorrow is supposed to be wet and rainy and upon getting up this morning it was cold but clear....
Well, made it to the pool at 8 so I could get my workout in prior to the water aerobics class where the group seems to literally crawl out of the wood work and take over the pool with their terry cloth cover ups.. yes you remember em, at 9 am sharp!
Started my swim and I guess I have been spending more time in the pool than normal... not really a crazy statement but I realized this because 200 into my workout my goggles actually shot off my face breaking across the bridge of the nose. Now I have broken straps before and thrown goggles away from being scratched, leaky and other wise "unusable" but never before have they flown off my face..... Usually there is a spare pair in my "bottomless" tri- bag but not today... nope , not today the day I need to actually get this swim in the books and 'test'. Well I was actually preparing to push through the test without goggles when I realize their is a set sitting near the hot tub that I figure... well they have been left behind won't bother if I use them? So I made it through the swim, borrowed goggles and all and actually improved my time from my last test by nearly 25 seconds :) I keep telling myself ALL the work in the pool has to pay off and now it seems it is.. bad goggles and all.
Later today I struck out on a long run in preparation for Boston.... it was a beautiful day and just great to be outside in the sunshine even though it wasn't warm I was in shorts and part way through the run had to tie my long sleeve shirt about my waist which reminded me spring and summer have to be close....... (I hope).
Since I was able to do both my workouts today, I have tomorrow morning off to enjoy family brunch and guilt free sleeping in, waffles and coffee and most likely some Easter Chocolate !
