I have finally come to terms with what I knew would be. My knee decided it wouldn't have anymore to do with this crazy marathon training. The pain has gotten to be so bad, that last week I was only able to run less than 2 minutes. "Why me?" I would ask. I don't get injured. But I'm no teenager anymore. I made the decision today to forgo (sp?) the marathon. I need to rest my knee and let it heal. Instead, I will test it out in a few weeks, and if its better, then I will run the LB 1/2 Marathon instead.
Here was this morning's swim workout:
500 w/u
4 X 100s - skull/catchup/fingertip/drill - 400 yards
200 easy
Main Set
1600 IM as following nonstop:
100 fly
200 back
300 breast
400 free
300 breast
200 back
100 fly = 1600 yards
100 EZ
4 X 100s as followed:
25 fast / 75 EZ
50 fast / 50 EZ
75 fast / 25 EZ
100 fast = 400 yards
1000 pull.
200 cool down
Total - 4400 yards.
Good workout. I was glad to go over 4000 yards. With runnning on hiatus, I'm going to really focus on my swimming. Workouts have been shitty lately and I am having no energy at the end, which in return gets my butt kicked!
the 1600 IM was fun but with the hot weather, it was tough. The 100s were decent, as I got my final 100 down to a 57. The 1000 pull was just mindless swimming which was nice. I enjoy long pull sets where I can zone out.
