Regeneration- so close but yet so far!

Hello-back again, and this time, I am very tired. In fact yesterday I was playing with my baby girl and dozed off for10 minutes-that has never happened!

I am once again nearing the peak of my workouts, and have a long day tomorrow before my regeneration week-which means cutting back my workouts and then re-building. I could not possibly explain the science behind this, but it works.

This week also has the potential to be quite challenging as Mr. P is encouraging me to do an open water swim. We haven't firmed up the day but last night I had nightmares about this! I really have got to be careful as to error in a lake can well........result in a very very bad situation. I told Mr. P he better have lifesaving skills just in case.

Now swimming in a pool to me is luxury compared to a lake. In fact I really hate swimming in water where I can not see my toes. Bird's Hill has the added bonus of lots and lots of reeds, minnows and excrement from water fowl, children, and lazy ass adults who couldn't be bothered to pee in a lavatory.

All I can hope for is that first I don't drown and second, I don't contract something like E.Coli or another bug as I think I have mentioned before that I swallow a lot of water. I am also very shy to be putting on a "second skin" (aka wet suit) as every single bump and ripple show. It's pretty much like being naked-and while many have told me that I should not worry about this-it is not helpful! (although I know it's all good intentions).

Distractions are also a good thing, when stressed, and I had the good fortune to do just that with my family this afternoon. We went to the Art Gallery to see the Art of Warner Bros, and loved it! Course the waskly wabbit is my all time favourite toon! (Sponge Bob is second) Ah yup-still a kid at heart!
