Yes that's right, chugging along-my tempo run was not the greatest today-had to stop a few times but was glad I could do it as I seriously thought my cough was going to develop into something more severe. Hopefully I have caught it in the nick of time, although chest is not 100 percent!
This afternoon I am scheduled for another swim lesson with my coach. Feeling a bit anxious as she wants me to do another pyramid drill-this time without flippers. I hope in the end this is going to help. I seriously would be completely content to do laps at my own pace as I really dislike the drills-they hurt, are hard, and not enjoyable. The only thing I look forward to is taking a long hot shower after the pool!
In addition, Mr. P has suggested that I attend a few of the triathalon swim sessions at the Pan Am Pool. They go for 1 and a half hours in the evenings. I know I should do this but I am getting to the point where I just can not possibly fit everything in.
At the end of the day, what is most important to me is my family. Thus if I suck at the swim, and my time is slow, I will be ok with this. I have come to the conclusion that I will try and do my best, and if I am under trained, I will find this out soon enough as I will be entering my first small triathalon on June 13 at Bird's Hill Park!

ReplyDeleteHi Donna..... I'm still following in utter amazament (just been a little slack with commenting).
ReplyDeleteYou are beyond inspirational.... WAY TO GO!!
When your children come to have an appreciation for what you are doing right now they will be so incredibly proud.
Ah, the epic battle between confidence and doubt... All I can tell you is that the only one that will grow is the one you feed. Tomorrow I am going to do something that makes me sick with fear, but I am going to wear my new red headband because it makes me feel brave.
