Luckily when I woke up this morning I felt human again after feeling so rough yesterday!
Today I had a gym induction to enable me to use the gym at the local leisure centre. I have been swimming a couple of times a week for quite a long time now and I suddenly realised that it would be cheaper for me to become a member of the leisure centre and get unlimited gym and swim sessions rather than pay for 2 swims a week!
So for my gym induction I had a general health check with blood pressure, heart rate, weight, height etc and was announced to be very fit which was rather pleasing!
After this I was shown how each machine worked and had a short go on each. After my induction I stayed in the gym to have a little play whilst it was still fresh in my mind.
I didn't want to do too much as I was expecting to go to Windermere this evening for the usual open water training session.
I got my wetsuit and swimming gear ready and was just about to leave when for some strange reason I decided to check the internet and discovered that the session wasn't on this evening!
I was bitterly disappointed as it was a lovely warm and sunny evening - perfect for lake swimming!
Determined to get my swimming in I decided to go to the local pool instead and use my new membership!
I was amazed how quiet it was! I think the good weather had kept people away! There was only 4 other people in the entire pool and no one in the swimming lanes so I had one to myself!
I started to do sets of 20 lengths with 25 seconds or so rest in between each set with a goal to swim for an hour and see how far I got!
I managed 5 sets of 20 making 100 lengths (1.55 miles) in total taking 1 hour and 24 seconds!
I was pleased with this as I don't feel very swim fit at the moment with being on holiday!
Back to running tomorrow!
