The blahs
I feel like I might be getting a cold or something. I hope not, but I have had a headache for hours and even though I got a decent amount of sleep last night, I fell asleep this afternoon on the couch for a couple of hours. Maybe it's just nerves since I'm starting orientation tomorrow. I hope so!
I did about 45 minutes of swimming and 20 minutes of pool running this morning, and then biked a little and lifted instead of going back to the gym in the afternoon. (Good thing, since I had that unplanned nap in there!) I was bored in the water, even more so than usual, until I got into a good rhythm after awhile. One neat thing was that the MIT cross country women were in the two lanes next to me doing some sort of pool running workout. They were all wearing aqua jogging belts (making it tough for ME to find one) and their coach was yelling out for them to do hard intervals and then recover. It looked like they were having a lot of fun, which made me miss being on a team. I also noticed that there were a few of the girls who looked like they were working hard to get a workout in, but that most of them were talking a lot and weren't getting too into the pool running.
I'm so used to having a lot of free time that it will be hard to get into a new routine where I can't just work out whenever I want. I don't know my class schedule yet, but school is far enough away from the gym so that it will definitely be tough to continue my twice a day workout schedule. I feel like when I'm running more it won't be a problem, but at this point since my mileage is still so low, I like to make up for it by cross training and lifting more. But as I've seen, I'll adapt. It's just the thought of the change that is hard.
Time to go pick out my school clothes! I feel like I did the night before kindergarten.
