It's Freezing!
My, my is it cold here. In the 20s with a dreadful windchill. Not helping the dry skin situation I've got going on here. That's what you get for living in Pittsburgh. It could be worse - I could live in Maine.
Anyway, today after work, which was filled with sad patients by the way (try being 29 yo, living with cystic fibrosis your whole life and now being about ready to die despite having a double lung tx in Feb 05 - now that's a downer!)... Umm...back on track - after work today I went to the YMCA with O. We both swam. I enjoy having him there because he provides entertainment and encouragement and despite the fact that he doesn't get very far, he gets a workout in because his swimming is extremely inefficient! :)
My workout was:
300 easy
200 kick easy
100 easy
5 sets of 4x25 hard, 2x50 kick hard
150 easy
That's 1750 yds total. All the hard stuff had 5 seconds rest but there was a 2 minute rest between sets which I thought was way to long. After the first 2 minute rest I was thinking of cutting it down to 1 minute but I didn't want to get cocky, take less rest and then die at the end. After it was all said and done though, I think the next time I do this workout I will only take 1 minute. Regardless, it was a good workout. I would have swam longer but I ran out of time before swim team practice.
Now I'm sitting at my computer, icing my feet, eating pretzels and wearing my winter coat and scarf because I'm cold. Shower time next. And then my friends will soon be here! :) Have a great weekend everyone!
