The talent pool...

Gee, the view at the pool was rather nice this morning. Must get up that early more often ;-)

Activity: swimming
Time: 5.30am
Duration: 35mins
Distance: 1,400m
Mood/energy: not bad
ITB: still sore

Decided to get up a bit earlier this morning due to amount of urgent 'stuff' sitting on my desk at work. Of course I was immediately regretting that decision when the alarm went off at 5am.

Today's session was intended to be another relatively easy lap session but at a slightly higher intensity than Tuesday's session to test out the lungs. The lungs were fine although my fitness is seriously lacking and my shoulders were feeling the effects of all of those chin-ups from yesterday's session with Satan. My mind was strong today; the body not so.

Off for a massage this afternoon. With my ITB claiming all the attention lately, it's been a long time since the rest of my body got some attention - my back in particular has been feeling very tight the last few days. It's not going to be pleasant...

Edit: no massage for me today. I was unable to escape from the office and had to cancel my appointment. Unfortunately I can't get in to see her until next Wednesday - yikes. That's really going to hurt...

It's the mind that matters Jen. If you don't mind then nothing else matters :-) Keep it strong and the body is sure to follow.

Glad to hear you're recovering well from the lurgy Jen. Promise you'll keep looking after yourself?
