Splash!

My legs were too tired to go to my regular workout so I decided to sleep in and go later in the day. Since I ran the 12 miles on Tuesday, I needed an "easy" day to let my legs rest so I decided to not spin nor attend aerobics class, instead I just swam. I have never swam for such a long period of time...I like it! After the first 30 minutes my body started warming up and then the flips became easier and I felt like I was one with the water, just gliding away.

Stats

Swimming

Time: 90minutes

Type: Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breaststroke. A few laps with hand paddles and a couple of laps with fins.

Notes: I weighed myself again today just for kicks and I am down a couple of pounds. Down to 127 lbs! Nope, I am not starving myself, I still eat tacos and pasta and rice and lots, lots of white bread!
