Last night, before heading to bed, I texted my friend who I was talking with and told him that it was time for me to go to bed, I'm going on a 5:30 swim. He thought I was completely crazy. However, the next morning, when I hit my alarm (after being confused for a second why it was going off so early,) my dad was up and we headed off to the gym. He went to the machines and I went right toward the pool.
Expecting a chilly blast of a wake up call, it was surprisingly warm and I got into a great rhythm of 2 laps crawl, 1 lap flutter kick. I stayed away from breaststroke today because my knees were sore after doing it last time. The old dance injury comes back at I swear, the most random times. I usually have almost no issues with it while running.
Sharing a lane, the overall swim felt great. I came back and made some homemade oatmeal with walnuts and blueberries (very tasty by the way.) I also measured myself and I've lost an inch in my waist! Finally some progress.
So, now ready to take on an 8 hour work day, I feel great. I can stay inside and out of the heat and not feel lazy. I think these 5:30 swims are going to become much more common.
