What do you mean, "I swam more than I should've"?

Plan

  • Body Pump @ 6am
  • 1.5km Swim @ 5:00pm
Actual
  • Body Pump with Magali
    • 60mins
  • Swim - 70 lengths, 1.75km
    • ~60mins
Calories burned = 216 + 528 = 744

First of all... err... I completely forgot that I had assigned myself a 1.5km swim, and swam an extra 10 lengths. It was good, I enjoyed it thoroughly, and wasn't as puffed as I thought I might be. Next time I'll try and go for 2km, which'll be 80 lengths. I really have no idea how far my current fitness level will take me, so I should really try and find where the new edge of my comfort zone is, since clearly, it's been pushed out further and I haven't realised it.

As for Body Pump this morning - excellent class. In particular, the lunges really hurt. I was wobbling for quite some time afterwards.

Funny how the comfort level does that.

Got to my in-law's place (Aunt and Uncle) the other week and about died when I realised it was a two story house. With the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs!

Funny, my knees, ankles and tendons all held up superbly. It's made me a little bolder with my choice of walking surface. And, I feel stronger than I have in months!

Wow, that's fantastic, Kada! :-D That new feeling of strength must be fantastic after that rough period you went through; awesome!
