never regret a workout.....

I woke up today like an angry hornet. tired of training. didnt want to do anything. just in an unusual pissy mood. didnt want to swim. didnt want to think about 70.3. but i pulled myself out of bed and told myself i would feel better afterwards. an internal argument going on in my head i remembered a quote i had seen recently. "no one ever regrets that workout". i kept telling myself this. because if i was going to be angry might as well have a reason to be......proving to be true i didnt regret going to the pool.

starting out i felt tight all over...which is just plain wrong with having a rest day the day before but whatever.....took about 500 yds for my to not feel aches...then kinda relax. now at a 1000....ok finally feeling a little more like myself...took me 29 minutes to swim 1000 yds....this frustrated me even more. refused to get back in the bad place...i started my next set....this one felt better i relaxed a bit...got into my groove...my friend showed up about 400 into this set and we chatted for a second and then i finished my set....a whole 7 min faster...wow...just being in a better place makes a difference. still not pushing but just mentally better....hubby had already finished his 3000 by this point and had to leave for work (yes he is that much faster than me)

finished my last set for a total of 3k. Sat in the hot tub and then went to Kool Beanz for a nice lunch with my friend. Took forever to get our food but it was so good well worth the wait!!!

Peppered Flank steak with large sweet potatoe fries!!!

today only had a bag of powerbar gel cola about 2-3 chews in between sets...

but if you get anything from reading my training stuff.....get up and go do the workout no matter how bad you feel. you wont regret it....every workout isnt about quality.....sometimes just the motions will get you back feeling better!!
