Well, three trips to Urgent Care really hindered my mileage this month. January's total is an utterly embarrassing 28 miles. So much for getting close to 15-20 a week!
The ankle is still swollen and the little run up the Hogan's driveway yesterday didn't help...so much for thinking I'm ready to hit the treadmill. To the water I went today. When I was a kid I LOVED to swim. I spent everyday at the pool, but being older I have two things I will whine about. 1. Water gets in my right ear when I turn to breathe and it doesn't come out. 2. It's COLD, not so much in the pool, but in the locker room after the swim...burrrrrr!
But I can swim and it doesn't hurt my ankle. I wonder how much muscle workout I'm getting, because it seems more a lung workout at this point. I had trouble doing a full lap freestyle. I could breaststroke all day, but I need to freestyle for the tri.
One last whine...because I haven't whined enough...the Y pool is only open for lap swimming early in the morning or at 8:00 at night. I will have to get over the time issue and hit the water this week or I'll have to change my diet ~ and that's just asking too much ;)
