I use to dislike swimming until now. Now it's a great way to push myself to do better. I am definitely not a strong swimmer, but swimming has been the best cross training because it's low impact, highly aerobic and great for strength training.
Especially because I pulled my hip flexor and it is killing me. Getting in to the water and swimming helped buoy me up and I wasn't really worried about hurting myself.
Because of some prior commitments, today's workout was 30 minutes of swimming and some light stretching. My body is really beginning to feel it and every day I can feel my body give way and understanding that we are in fact running a marathon.
It was resisting me for awhile, like butter under a hot knife my body is acquiescing and allowing me to push it beyond the limits of what I have been doing these past two years.
Today was also an excellent day because aside from being able to say done with day 5 I have finally completed my last paper for my English Subject Matter Competency. Now it's on to my teaching credential programs and I can't wait to get into the classroom.
So on top of getting ready for this marathon, I am deciding to relax and prepare for my final year!
Today's exhaustion flavor is relief, the feeling of being done and moving on. As I stepped out of the pool I took a deep breath in and the breathing out like a modified sigh was today's taste of exhaustion.
til tomorrow!
