An Early Run

Ran intervals today, 4 x (4t, 2r). I feel like I accomplished my goals - run steady, good heart rate, maintain focus (at least for the most part), recover well, run pretty. There's a bit of recovery in the middle of the last set as far as heart rate is concerned because I was running down a hill and conserving energy while maintaining speed. It is interesting to see how effective that was at getting my heart rate back down.

I felt good this morning though, and I have been working on allowing my lungs to struggle a little, i.e., not priming with my inhaler before starting out. I feel like this is a better tactic than always giving myself juice. I want to be stronger, not just functional.

I find that I have been dreading my swim workouts. I have a swim tomorrow, and though it's not a long swim, I dread it. I don't know what it is lately, but getting in the water has recently been attached to a mega mental block.
