So it feels like a scramble every Tuesday to lose the needed weight to make me want to keep on working on this whole losing weight bit. But it is hard, and for whatever reason, I am feeling very sluggish all around.
And on top of all that swimming is getting very difficult. I want to go hard, but I find that I just get too tired, and then I give up. If you haven't been aerobic then you can't just say I am going to be aerobic today. It isn't just a physical thing it is a mental thing too. How much pain can you dish out? How much can you take. Out of the water I think I can take a lot, but in the water - hmm not so much.
It easy sitting in my chair saying tomorrow I will push myself and it will hurt, but I will continue to push, until what I have a heart attack? Okay, my heart is good shape, but being out of breath is one thing being out of breath in the water is another. Controlled breathing and all that, all that training, but I haven't trained like that for 37 years - I don't have controlled breathing, I feel the lactic building up in my legs, and I just know I am going to not be able to pull my arm up one more time.
So she timed my hundred. Very slow, but it is a starting point - she said it was 2:02. So now I need it to be 2:02 going slow and 1:52 going fast - that is this weeks goal. I will let you know if I make it.
