So I'm feeling a little better. The early part of this week, I had "quit everything", it's hard to stop running, I miss it a lot. But I want to make sure my leg is really going to get better.
Anyways I skipped swimming on Tuesday, I have been fighting a little cold since the weekend, then I tried to make up that swim in the evening at Killarney pool near my school ... big mistake! It was the worst 1300m of my life, I can't believe I even swam for that long! There were about 30 people crammed into one 25m lane, all of whom didn't know how to swim, and I'm not kidding, literally one guy at one point was drowning, his friend had to pull him to the side.
Then I skipped my Wednesday TT. Why can't I learn that if I don't do in the morning, it won't get done! After school I am wiped, and very hungry, and sometimes grumpy....!
So needless to say, I was in bad spirits. But then I swma Thursday morning, and had the best workout all year, there was a new very speedy girl in our lane, and I had to bust a gut to keep up with her. It was great to have someone to push hard with,she really had us pick up the pace. It makes me realize just how much I dog-it.
Anyways, I am still not certain I will race the UBC on the weekend. I keep waffling. My feelings seems to fly from one extreme to the other: really want to focus and do well, and don't really care anymore. I guess that's the way it is when you're not 100%, it's hard to stay motivated.
All that said I am off to get on my bike.
