Pool party
OK, it wasn't really a party, but I was glad to have company in the pool this morning! I went to the pool where Mary swims and met up with her and another friend from her triathlon team. I didn't have a workout planned so I just did what they were doing. It was pretty long (3,000 yards total I think) but it went well. Like in running, it's easier to pace myself when I am working with someone else. Mary is faster than I am, but I'm getting there.
I wasn't going to kick much while swimming if my weird hip thing (which is actually more like a pelvis/groin thing) bothered me, but it only seems to hurt when I get up from sitting. I tried to get at it with the foam roller last night, but it was pretty much impossible to contort myself that much. I'll give it another try, though!
This afternoon I biked a bit and lifted as usual. When I had just gotten to the gym, I noticed this horrible smell all of a sudden (I checked and it wasn't me) and all the other people in the gym did too. I was listening to my iPod but I could tell by the looks on their faces! It was weird, because I saw the guy at the desk walk away for a minute--after someone complained about the smell--and then all of a sudden it was gone. I wonder what happened, because smells don't usually dissipate that quickly when they are that strong. Hmm. But that was my excitement for the afternoon.
I made a yummy pizza for dinner tonight but I ate it too fast since I was starving. Must go lie down.
