I was back in the pool on Tuesday but deliberately moved into a slower lane. We did a lot of one arm drills and kicking drills before the main set but I manged to keep my lunch down and finish in one piece. I need to get some more swimming sessions in between this group session but it certainly pushes you on when you are trying not to be left behind in the lane.
This morning I went out on a group run but knowing who was going to be in it I knew I was going to be stretched. I wasn't wrong. We completed 12 miles at a good pace and I was pleased not to be left behind - looks like my fitness is improving. I've come home got cleaned up, refuelled and am now relaxing waiting for the Grand Prix to start. Refuelling and resting is an important part of my training and I make sure I don't miss it!
And last piece of news, my 14 year old daughter and my wife have taken up running! Nothing to do with me but they were out at 6.30 in the morning 3 times last week. They are loving it so I'll need to be looking over my shoulder to make sure they don't start overtaking me!
